Hi,
When I installed F9 from the liveCD I decided to use the
EXT4 file system. Unfortunately, there was no way to boot
from my ext3 mbr. It kept hanging when it went to the boot
partition. I tried some playing around but didn't get it to
work. I ended up using preupgrade, which worked flawlessly
but left me in ext3.
When F10 is available I would like to run it in an ext4
filesystem. Will this incompatibility between ext3 and ext4
still be a problem? F10 will not be installed on the same
disk as the mbr is on. If it is a problem, is there a
workaround?
Just in case, will preupgrade work for F10?
Thanks.
