Yeah, but you don't need to bother with it until after the installation is
over, since ext3 uses the same format as ext2, but with a journal added.
So make your normal ext2 filesystems, and then run tune2fs -j /dev/hda6 (or
whatever device) to add a journal.  

Then you either change the type to ext3 or auto in your fstab.  Auto is
good if you may boot later with a kernel that doesn't have ext3 support.
