Before you freshly install Redhat 7.1



Hi,

If you're installing Redhat 7.1 from scratch - you know the pain that it 
makes that it does't support creating ReiserFS partitions and installing your 
stuff on it...

This is very important for notebook users also - think what happends when you 
had a total power off (you didn't notice that your battery have 0% power), 
and then you'll have to fsck your entire Linux partitions (I had the pleasure 
of doing it with 18GB disk, not fun)...

So, go to this URL and grab the floppy image from there, copy it to a floppy 
disk, and boot from it instead of your Redhat CD-1. Then put Redhat 7.1 CD-1 
in your cdrom, and continute the installation as usual - only with disk 
druid, click on that "ReiserFS" option..

Oh, you might want to upgrade the kernel to 2.4.3 or more since there were 
few fixes to ReiserFS..
