Tobias Thanks very much. This was similar to what I tried - with the big difference being that it worked - your help is much appreciated.
I now have an unattended install system that gives me different partition layouts based on MAC address - we give laptops a second partition to store user data on. I shall now go away and play to try & make it preserve an existing 2nd partition on rebuild without my intervention. Again, thanks Kevin Lawry -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Schneider, Tobias Sent: 09 November 2004 15:52 To: 'Kevin Lawry'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: AW: [Unattended] Help - partition scheme problems Hi Kevin, perhaps you can take my configuration as an example fdisk_cmds="fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:10000 ;fdisk /pri:100,100 /spec:7;fdisk /delete /pri:1;fdisk /pri:2000;fdisk /activate:1" Explanation: this commands will create a 10GB partion for the system and taking the rest for the second partition. it first creates a primary 10GB partition (pri:10000) and another one with the rest(pri:100,100 its in percent). Afterwards it deletes the first partion and creates at that place a new partion of 2GB (this is needed for the first paret of install). Win will then expand it back to 10GB during setup I hope this will help Mit freundlichen Gr��en / Best regards Tobias Schneider ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --- Voith Paper Automation GmbH & Co.

November 2004 15:48 An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Betreff: [Unattended] Help - partition scheme problems Help, I give up - I am trying to get 2 partitions on a disk from a fully unattended network booted linux install. I have the following line in my site unattend.txt fdisk_cmds = "fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:2000;fdisk /activate:1" which works & gives me one auto expanding partition, but I cannot work out what to put here to get 2 partitions - preferably a 50/50 split, but I would be happy with a sized 1st partition and the second partition filling the rest Any help gratefully received Thanks Kevin Lawry ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_idU88&alloc_id065&op=ick _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_id=5588&alloc_id=12065&op=click _______________________________________________ unattended-info mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/unattended-info
