That's a mighty literal interpretation of "all" when it comes to valuable data. I can't imagine any circumstance when I would want all partitions on all disk drives to be removed during an OS install, and there is no option to Kickstart telling it to remove partitions only on the boot disk drive. One typically assumes that an OS installer behaves somewhat reasonably. Apparently, that is asking too much in this case. The Kickstart parameters, by the way, are the very same ones that you would specify when using the RedHat installer interactively, so the same issue comes up when installing interactively. > But realistically your data is probably gone, and unless theres > pricelss information on those partitions your better off spent > restoring from a backup or something then spending the time trying to > reconstruct the partition table. Unfortuntely, the data is not mine, but rather the head of the department's. |>oug -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
