Hello,
Just wondering. I am not a SUSE user, so maybe that is why I
haven't heard of the ReiserFS and I have a few questions?
o Is ReiserFS part of the kernel or is it some type of add on?
o Who is this different for the journaling that's to be offered in
the 2.4 kernel?
o I would take it you have to install with ReiserFS, you can't
take an exsisting system and convert it?
Thanks
Ken N
