Hi,

thank you for the time and effort!

so I'm afraid there is no solution to keep a partition during a autoinstallation.

when you will rewrite this part of autoinstallation, so i would use this contact 
to comunicate my wishes for this.

in my mind, it would be good, if there is a possiblity to switch all "automatic" 
off and all definition are made in the config-file are realize on the installed 
system. what i special miss, is a documentation - which parameter can be used an 
what is the exactly meaning of this, which priority has which parameter.

Thanks
  enrico
