Title: How could I partition hard disk by myself?
Post by: Duncan Lo on October 08, 2000, 12:22:35 AM

How could I partition hard disk space by myself when I install e-smith 4.0?
In version 3.1, I can edit boot disk's ks.cfg to do it. But I don't known what
way to do it in version 4.0.

With version 4.0, copy images/kickstart/install.cfg from the CDROM onto the boot floppy. Then edit syslinux.cfg on the boot floppy and replace:

linux ks=cdrom:/image/....

with:

linux ks=floppy:install.cfg ....

Then edit install.cfg on the floppy as you did with ks.cfg with version 3.1.

I do it ok!
But I have some problems.
Why when I do it, e-smith don't run last 3 lines  of install.cfg?
And I must do "rpm -e kuduz" by myself!Charlie Brady wrote:
