Is there any way to tell autoyast to do this automatically?  From the
explanation below, it seems that I have to manually run fdisk and create the
extended partition before I attempt the autoinstall.  What I'd like to do is
specify the extended partition in the configuration file.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Robert

Robert, 
You need to create the partitions you want (i.e. /, /boot, swap, etc) then
create a partition that contains the remainder of the drive space and
convert it to an extended partition then create logical partitions in the
extended space. I think 4 is the maximum number of primary partitions you
can have.
