Well, boot-floppies can't support it until you've fixed the above
problem, namely, getting a reiserfs kernel in debian. Debian does
include 2.4.x series kernels, so that might be a possible solution
(assuming it fits in the allotted space).
It comes down to you guys who use reiserfs -- I don't, but I can see
it as valuable. If the final 10% of work is done, then I don't see
any reason why this couldn't be mainstream for woody.
