Dear Anas, I am still troubled with the same partitioning problem I have asked about in this mailing list before. I would be very much interested in the following option for autoyast2: If a disk is already partitioned (from a prevoius installation, for instance), I would like to instruct autoyast2 which partitions to format and which ones to leave untouched (without recreating any of the partitions) on this disk. It seems there is a manual solution to this problem suggested by Rasmus Borup Hansen by telling autoyast2 to interrupt the installation for a manual partitioning session. While this probably works fine (I didn't test it yet), it is difficult to be realized for a large farm of machines. Do you plan to add such an option in the next SuSE release or in an update for SuSE 8.1?
