      Try with something like:

%pre

set $(list-harddrives)

let numd=$#/2 # harddrive number

d1=$1 # 1st device

S1=$2 # 1st device size and so on

 

DISCO=$d1

 

echo "clearpart --drives=$DISCO --all --initlabel" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "part /boot --fstype ext3 --size=100 --ondisk=$DISCO" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "part pv.100000 --size=1 --grow --ondisk=$DISCO" >>  /tmp/part-include

echo "volgroup VG --pesize=32768 pv.100000" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "logvol swap --fstype swap --name=Swap --vgname=VG --size=2047" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "logvol  / --fstype ext3 --name=root --vgname=VG --size=1024" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "logvol /home --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --name=home --vgname=VG" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "logvol /tmp --fstype ext3 --size=1024 --name=tmp --vgname=VG" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "logvol /usr --fstype ext3 --size=3000 --name=usr --vgname=VG" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "logvol /opt --fstype ext3 --size=12000 --name=opt --vgname=VG" >> /tmp/part-include

echo "part /opt/iso --fstype vfat --size=8000 --ondisk=$DISCO" >> /tmp/part-include
