You don't choose the partition's file system until after partitioning the drive. The installation refers to it as "Initializing a Linux Partition". You should be prompted for the file systems supported by the kernel used to boot the install process. By default, I believe this is a 2.2.20 kernel without ext3 support. If you're booting from CD, try the bf24 boot option (listed under the F3 menu). This should boot with a 2.4.18 kernel that provides support for ext2, ext3, and ReiserFS. -- Jamin W.
