Reiser warns to avoid 2.4.9, put recent .10-pre patches work fine. I am using .10-pre9 that seems to work well thusfar. I did not need to use additional patches from Reiser: whatever they submitted, Linus incorporated into the 10-pre* kernels by now. In fdisk, you must give the partition type 0x83: Linux Native (this includes ext2fs, Reiser, etc). Then use the ReiserFS tools to format your partition for ReiserFS. I don't think there is an up-to-date Debian package: get them from http://www.reiserfs.org/ I guess this means you need to install the tools on a current system with a 2.4.10 kernel, hang the new disk in the system, format it, and make sure you boot with a 2.4.10 kernel when you want to install Debian on the new disk. -- #>!$!%(@^%#%*(&([EMAIL PROTECTED]@^$##*#@&(%)@**$!(&!^(#((#&%!)%*@)(&$($$%(@#)&*!^$)[EMAIL PROTECTED]@) Tom "thriving on chaos" Peters NL-1062 KD nr 149 tel. +31-204080204 Amsterdam e-mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
