RE: How to constrain the install through kickstart to one drive

You should be able to do this with the --ondisk option to the partition
specification.

For example:
part /boot --fstype ext3 ---size 100 --asprimary --ondisk sda

You can also clear the partitions in a similar way
clearpart --drives=sda --initlabel

Subject: How to constrain the install through kickstart to one drive

HI All,

I have a number of machines I would like to install using kickstart.
This
isn't the problem as this I know how to do...but, some pc's have more
than
one HD installed. Some of the pc's have pata, sata or ide drives; that
is a
mixture of all I have mentioned. In order to combat the problem of
kickstart
not working on all types of disks, I took out the ondisk=[s|h]da. This

works well on a pc with a single disk. With more than one disk, the
second
disk also get a filesystem. I don't want the second disk touched at
all. Is
there a way to do this?

Thanks in advance,

Phil
