OK, will the tools then be in the final release? I am using RC1....I guess I can create a Reiser FS partition after install for the other areas, but would like to make /root Reiser FS. To create vfat for /boot I do that manually? Is it then possible to not use a /boot and leave this in the / which would be ext2 or Reiser? Regards, Jon On 19 Jun 2001, Andreas Schwab wrote:

/boot *must* be vfat. This is currently not enforced, but should be.

Yes, the reiserfs tools have accidentally been left out of the installation system. But they will be included in the installed system, so that you can format and use reiserfs partitions afterwards.

There is no way around making a /boot vfat filesystem, otherwise the firmware cannot find the boot loader.
