Bug Description
I used the new Dapper Beta2 LiveCD to see the brand new system installer, and it is great, but there was not an option to change one of my partitions from Ext2 to ReiserFS (where I in fact wanted to install /). S¡Other kind of filesystems where available in the combo box (ext2, ext3, XFS, even NTFS! ¿?), but no ReiserFS. Is this a bug or is ReiserFS an unwanted feature for this new version (don't think so...). I had to mkfs.reiserfs the partition myself, then restart the LiveCD and I was able to install / in the new ReiserFS filesystem.

Which distribution were you installing - Ubuntu, Kubuntu, Edubuntu, or Xubuntu? In Ubuntu/ Edubuntu/ Xubuntu, reiserfs is definitely offered - you just have to delete the filesystem and create a new one, which is a bit odd, but there you go. I don't have Kubuntu to hand to check.
