Hello, two questions(for starters):

Is there a way to force the setup to partition an empty disk into
couple partitions(system,programs,data,swap) and change default
'special folders' locations on the fly ?

I've used Setup Manager to create an unattend.txt file but don't fully
understand the consequences of 'Automatically generate computer
names...' - what if another server connects to this machine, will it
get renamed too ?

Thanks.
