SuSE 8.0 and ext3

Has anyone else had problems with making an ext3 partition in SuSE8.0? If you try and do it in Yast2 it just barfs. Tried to use mkfs and it appears that there isn't a mkfs.ext3 installed. I'm trying to use the intermezzo system and I need to format the drives as either ext2 or ext3. Jethro -------------------------------------------------------
