Hi, [aggregious snip] > Just what *do* I have to install to get the > necessarykernel support? 'mkreiserfs' doesn't require kernel support for the file system type, you're not 'working' with it, just creating it. You need to load the module for reiserfs to mount the file system. With 'modconf' you should be able to find the right module. HTH Eamon Roque.
