Bug Description

Binary package hint: system-config-kickstart

It'd be a nice feature to be able to partition drives by percentage. e.g. 50% to / and 50% to /home or something like that

I don't think that the underlying functionality in Kickstart exists to provide percentage-based partitioning. IMHO, that should be a prerequisite to enabling this in the system-config-kickstart interface.

To be more specific, kickstart will let you specify a percentage for creating an LVM volume, but not for non-LVM partitions.
