No, I used 6.4. It's there hidden away on the experts option... :-) You can't have your /boot partition as reiserfs, as it doesn't like partitions less than 30MB (I think), which I thought was a bit over the top for /boot, anyhow, ext2's fine for that. But I'd like to know, short of losing some session management, if any harm can come to the file system if we just power off the machine when we're done? :-) Anyone at SuSE care to comment? After all the resierfs was designed to handle power cuts! On Tuesday, September 19, 2000 5:46 PM, Bryan S. Tyson [SMTP:bryantyson@earthlink.net] wrote:

I disagree, I think it's wonderful. I installed on my mum's system because I knew (despite instructions to the contrary) she would just power off when it didn't do what she wanted it to do. Sure enough she does. The reiserfs? It barely skips a beat on rebooting and comes up as if nothing happened. That's worth a lot to the errant home user... no more lengthy fsck-ing about! And no tech support worries for me.
Your comments made me want to try it. Did you use SuSE 7 for this? Is it any harder to install/set up than if you use the regular filesystem?
(BTW I still have not gotten SuSE 7. It has not shown up at Best Buy yet. If it doesn't show up soon, I will purchase it by mailorder.)
