Could you outline a way to customise the disk partitioning when doing an install to a newly formatted disk? I imagine there is a script in the install package that can be modified.
Thanks

Custom partitioning at install time
Hi,
The current install image, version 1.2, uses only 2 partitions. One big one for data and operating system and a 1GB swap partition in the end.
The Etch installer uses 3 partitions. The first partition, the root partition that holds the operating system. The next one is the data or user partiton that holds all user data. And finally the swap partition.
The sizes of these partirions is reads of the bubba.cfg config file if present in the same directory as the bubba.img In this file you can specify the root partition and the swap partition in GBs. The rest of the disk will be used as data partition. Default values for these are 10GB for root and 1GB for swap.
Note however that the current Etch installer will repartition and reformat the whole disk drive.
