Title: SME 7.0 Rc2:2 problems : disk partitioning / keybord layout
Post by: lauradsl on May 01, 2006, 06:55:22 PM
Hello,

I was waiting for the RC2 to be able to redefine the disk partitioning and i found 2 probleme during the installation in RC2 :

1/ The mapping of the keybord cannot be selected during the installation,
is it a bug. ( I succeed to use a french layout using a kickstart file ).
I searched in the bug list, no result.

2/ My other trouble is about the disk partitionning, i was thinking that i can change the partition using the kickstart file, but for the partition it's seems that it's not take in account.

I would like to modify the disk partition, because i need to install on the same machine Centos to compile my raid modules and my WIFI driver/modules.
I would like to have 2 boot Partitions the default for SME another to boot on Centos.

Does anybody have a simple solution to do that ?

Thanks to every body.
Laurent

as slords pointed out to me here (http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=30947.msg131280#msg131280), Hold down the shift key at boot time, and append 'partition' keyword to the kernel commandline. You will get the custom-partitionning screen during installation.
