Cheers, worked like a charm. Though I would like to maybe see a new partman d-i option. d-i partman/confirm_all boolean true kind of thing. Throw a forced pvremove under that heading and have all the partman-md partman-lvm directives honor it aswell. Might clean up some of the partman options in preseeding. /shrug -- Ryan Braun Aviation and Defence Services Division Chief Information Officer Branch, Environment Canada CIV: 204-833-2500x2625 CSN: 257-2625 FAX: 204-833-2558 E-Mail: ryan.br...@ec.gc.ca
