How to modify autopartitioning in kickstart and anaconda ?

Latest response

Hi,
I'm building a new linux master for our IT department based on RHEL8, using kickstart and product.img files. They are directly integrated in the cdrom.

I'm facing two problems :

  1. The interactive kickstart is no longer available on RHEL and anaconda starts playing the kickstart file without allowing user modifications, such as the hostname or network configuration.
    I found a parameter in the anaconda code to modify this behavior and force it to wait on the hub screen "Installation Summary" allowing access to the different spokes.

    Is there a "clean" method to force anaconda to wait for a user validation before executing the kickstart file?

  2. My kickstart file contains a custom partitioning scheme based on the rules of the OpenScap STIG profile. However, once you access the storage spoke, the schema defined in kickstart is overwritten by the simple RHEL 8 default partitioning scheme.

    Is it possible to modify the default partitioning scheme in anaconda by a custom version?

Thank you.
