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?

I think 4 is the maximum number of primary partitions you can have. -michael
