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?

You may want to consider the "ignoredisk" directive. See
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_42_8604.shtm and
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/FAQ_42_8927.shtm
