2007-01-01 12:27:31 Thomas Zander description Booting from the edgy (i386) installer cd I click on the 'Install' icon and fail to format as reiserFs. I then do fdisk and mkreiserfs from a konsole and restart the installer. Unfortunately the installer refused to let me select a partition as root that is reiserFS :( if I try the 'Prepare mount points' screen will refuse to let me go to the next screen as long as I don't select a partition that is non-reiserfs. it says that I didn't select a root partition. But I did. And when I go back and reformat that root partition as ext3; then it works. I don't know what you guys have against ReiserFS, but I have good experiences with it and can't ship this system using a filesystem I don't have good experiences with.
