I don't think clearpart has the ability to just clear off single partitions. I think it will just clear an entire drive. If you wanted to keep sda1 but replace sda2 and sda3, your only option would be to use sda2 and sda3 as is, using the part keyword in the kickstart file.
For example: part /other --onpart=/dev/sda1 --noformat part swap --onpart=/dev/sda2 part / --onpart=/dev/sda3 In this case you would want to leave clearpart out. For more detailed information on kickstart Google: kickstart-docs That'll give you the docs from anaconda. Be wary though. kickstart is notoriously finicky. -Tim On Mon, 2004-04-19 at 14:51, Janyne Kizer wrote: > I was wondering if any of you have used the kickstart option clearpart > to drop specific partitions?
