okay. I can't say if this is possible with autoyast. I did not try to have an empty space instead of the first primary until now.
Developers won't ever have a chance to imagine what crazy kind of configs the user will want to have ;-)
Seriously, can you say sth. about the second and third problem? autoyast used to auto-generate an extended partition as /dev/hda4 if only /dev/hda1-3 and /dev/hda5 were specified.
that is still the case.
Right! Your version of the profile works!

It's not that different from your version but I had to workaround a bug in RC1 (<usepart> for partition 1) and I've added some
Ok, I should have tried that myself because I read about it in the other thread, sorry!

Indeed it currently only works with these partition_type elements, however,
the information is redundant: If
Oh, btw, talking about old features: autoyast1 (SuSE 6.4) used to have this feature "If I find an fstab, I reuse it and leave all partitions untouched, unless I'm told to format some". This fstab-feature was missing in 9.0 completely and came back in 9.1,
that might be. Autoyast in 10.0 is the first autoyast that I'm responsible for.
I'm pretty sure this is a hard job to take over such a big project!
but now with the contrary behaviour: "format all partitions unless I'm told to leave some untouched". This is somewhat dangerous because you will accidentally format partitions if you forget to specify them. Couldn't this be changed so that one can chose if the default behaviour is either format-all or format-none?
hmmm. I have to take a look at that by myself to see how that works and how it behaves.
