(I'n not on Debian-boot, so please cc: me if you don't post to devel also) Jeremy Koch has created a set of Potato install disks meant to allow a ReiserFS installation of Debian. I noticed this from freshmeat, but haven't played with it yet. Looking at the webpage http://home.psouth.net/~jjk/projects/reiser-debian/ I see he's packaged the tools, etc. unofficially. Making sure the 'official packages' would allow use of his install disks would probably be useful, unless the debian-boot floppy team have something better planned. Or vice versa, if Jeremy plans to modify his boot-floppies to use the 'official' packages.
