[opensuse-autoinstall] Autoinstall Partitioning Question

14 Feb 2007

      Hi folks,

I'm trying to get started with autoYaST and have a question.  When I
set up the AutoYaST file to repartition the hard disk, the process
stops at the "Installation Settings" screen with red "Set disk label
of /dev/hda to msdos".  If I hit "Accept" at this window, it pops
up a "Confirm Installation" window which goes away when I hit "Install".
Everything else works in a hands-off manner the way I want.

So my question is: what magic do I have to include in my autoYaST file
to make it accept both of these without promting the user?

Thanks.

The relevant part of the autoYaST file reads:

  <partitioning config:type="list">
    <drive>
      <device>/dev/hda</device>
      <initialize config:type="boolean">true</initialize>
      <partitions config:type="list">
        <partition>
          <crypt>twofish256</crypt>
          false
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">swap</filesystem>
          130
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <mount>swap</mount>
          130
          2
          primary
          <size>1024M</size>
        </partition>
        <partition>
          <crypt>twofish256</crypt>
          false
          <filesystem config:type="symbol">ext3</filesystem>
          131
          <format config:type="boolean">true</format>
          <mount>/</mount>
          131
          <size>max</size>
        </partition>
      </partitions>
      <type config:type="symbol">CT_DISK</type>
      <use>all</use>
    </drive>
  </partitioning>
