  dhcp provides both host and domain names.
The questions were asked when priority was not set.  They are not
asked with priority=critical.  I hope this is the intended behavior.

  Can someone provides a preseed partiotion recipe for:

1. 100G hard disk.
2. 50G are used by the first parition, and should not be touched.
3. There is no partition defined for the other 50G.  Desired usage
   is:
   3.1.  1G for a /boot, $lvmignore, fs.
   3.2.  49G should be an $lvmok, $defaultignore, for all the other fs.
