We use something like this: zerombr yes clearpart --all --initlabel part /boot --fstype "ext3" --size=100 --asprimary part /tmp --fstype "ext3" --size=2048 --asprimary part / --fstype "ext3" --size=1 --grow %include /tmp/swap.cfg swap is dynamically generated during the bootstrap process. The configuration creates the following partitions: /dev/sda1 /boot /dev/sda2 /tmp /dev/sda3 swap /dev/sda4 extended /dev/sda5 / I am not aware of any other way to make anaconda honor the position of the swap partition. jrod Confidentiality Notice: This e-mail message (including any attached or embedded documents) is intended for the exclusive and confidential use of the individual or entity to which this message is addressed, and unless otherwise expressly indicated, is confidential and privileged information of Rackspace.
