     First, I'm surprised by the promptness of the replies. Thanks 
to Jesse, Rahul, Justin, et al.

     So far y'all have confirmed my suspicions about Reiser support, 
so I'll format /boot, /, an /home to ext3 during installation. 
Probly also /stor, /stor2, an /stor3 after mv'ing contents to 
/stor4. That one I'll just havt'a try manually mounting later, or 
access it with a live CD that can, to mv things back.

     Anyhow, thanks again, but I must comment ;)  I'd be bored 
runnin Linux that doesn't "breaks (as it often does) you get to keep 
all the pieces " ;)  I've been runnin cooker for years as my only 
system.

     Hopefully it won't take me too long to get up to speed with 
FC-test.
