Dear All,

I'm trying to install Novell Linux Desktop from a DOS partition but seem to
have some problems with partitioning.
I'm using a 40GB disk that has a 6GB DOS partition on it.
The DOS partition includes the NLD cd's so I can perform my unattended
installation.

I would like to have the following paritions after NLD installation
DOS 6GB fat32
/ max size available
swap 512MB ext3 or reiser
/boot 100MB ext3 or reiser

Can anyone help me out how I need to specify this in the autoinst.xml ?

Regards,

Dennis Peere
