By default SIS (the installer for OSCAR) wipes the entire disk that it is
installing onto. It is possible to modify the autoinstallscript (located at
/var/lib/systemimager/scripts/oscarimage.sh) to not do the partitioning, and
only format the partitions that you are interested in, however, this is a
manual step outside of the OSCAR wizard.
For more information on the local.cfg do:
'mkautoinstalldiskette -help'
on the OSCAR server once the OSCAR wizard has come up. It will explain what
you need to do for the local.cfg.

There is no silver bullet. Plus, werewolves make better neighbors than
zombies, and they tend to keep the vampire population down.
