Kickstart on 8.10-server irregularities

[DW]

below is the kickstart I use to install 8.10-server, this kickstart works almost perfectly fine in 8.04 except it still asks me how i want the disk to be partitioned. In 8.10 there are a series of irregularities.

I replaced 'removed' with the actual encrypted values.

The root user's password is not set, and a user named administrator is not created (it asks to create a non superuser during the install).

also, on the netboot about 20 errors which reference busybox -l being an invalid option are displayed during install.

thanks, DW

This turns out to be due to bug 293586.
