I don't know of any other way to do this. I would suggest manual partitioning to be preferable to wiping all partitions on a machine! > The reason I'm installing from the CD instead of a url is because I > want to support either DHCP or a static IP.

I'm not sure how you're doing this now (I've not actually done an install of ISC yet) but you can specify IP parameters both on the boot line and in the kickstart. It should be possible to somehow get the user to enter the IP information during install and save that. > I should also point out that I'm using pungi to author the ISO since I > didn't want to write my own script to do that.
