Starting with beta1, a shiny new linuxrc is used. In particular, you can specify an inst-sys independently of the repository. Like, e.g.:
install=ftp://server1/pub/cd1?instsys=my_fancy_instsys
[using ftp://server1/pub/cd1/my_fancy_instsys]
or even
install=ftp://server1/pub/cd1?instsys=nfs://server2/my/fancy_instsys
I've also found that 'root' (inst-sys) is no more 'cramfs' but newly 'squashfs'.
If you want to decompile the 'root' file you will need a kernel module 'modprobe squashfs' (which is in squashfs-kmp-default.rpm, or squashfs-kmp-xen.rpm, or ...).
Ehm, yes. That was coolo's special wish. It compresses better and the 1-CD people wanted the additional space. It's a bit of a PITA, though, as our fs tools more or less ignore it.
