clearpart -all warning

[Markus Eyrich]

Does this still work with CentOS 6 and Anaconda ? I can't get it to 
work. Tried the very exact same code below and Anaconda just goes over 
it and starts installing... Do i need to do anything more in the 
kickstart file? Does it need to be in interactive or text mode or 
something ?!
