Hi Nils! Thanks for your answer. My existing partition table shows like this (suse fdisk layout): > /dev/sda1 1 2433 20GB 7 HPFS/NTFS > /dev/sda2 2434 2GB 82 Linux Swap > /dev/sda3 * 2678 12GB 83 Linux _meta section in unattend.txt is: > [_meta] > ; Contents of doit.bat script > edit_files=1 > netinst="c:\netinst" > ; Use extended INT13 BIOS calls for fdisk? > fdisk_lba=1 > ; fdisk_cmds="fdisk /clear 1;fdisk /pri:20480;fdisk > /pri:100,100;fdisk /delete /pri:1;fdisk /pri:4000;fdisk /activate:1" > fdisk_cmds="fdisk /delete /pri:1;fdisk /pri:4000;fdisk /activate:1" > fdisk_confirm=0 > format_cmd="format /y /z:seriously /q /u /a /v: c:" > replace_mbr=1 > ntp_servers=0 > bottom=cleanup.bat > local_admins="" I tested it with this fdisk_cmds and switched to console 2 when prompted for edit files; parted -s /dev/dsk print shows me: > Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flag > 2 19085.xxx 20999.xxx Primary fat32 > 3 20999.xxx 32451.xxx Primary linux swap > 1 32451.xxx 36452.xxx Primary ext3 boot New windows partition is added after other partitions, free space before is not used... Then I reset partition table to start (see above), commented out fdisk_cmds in unattend.txt and tried your second version with manually creating partition when fdisk menu comes up. This ends up with: > Minor Start End Type Filesystem Flag > 1 0.031 4196.xxx primary fat32 boot > 2 19085.xxx 20999.xxx primary linux swap > 3 20999.xxx 32451.xxx primary ext3 This layout looks much better and is working now! btw: parted is grumping about using deprecated SCSI ioctl: "program parted is using a deprecated SCSI ioctl, please convert it to SG_IO" > #parted --version > GNU Parted 1.6.22 My unattended tree is grown since version 2.5b and this must be version 4.7pre or 4.7 now I think... -- best regards Sven Geipel ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
