[TriLUG] kickstart clearpart command

I was wondering if any of you have used the kickstart option clearpart 
to drop specific partitions?  I want to drop sda2 and sda3 but keep the 
rest.  From what I can tell, this should have worked but I get a fatal 
anaconda error when I try it.

clearpart --linux --drives=sda

I also saw a reference to using it this way:

clearpart --drives=sda

I tried it and anaconda just ignored me and prompted me to proceed with 
fdisk.  Any pointers would be appreciated.
