Re: how to force the install cd to use EXT3 type partition

[Jonathan Schmitt <other.list@detla.de>]

Hallo,
>Can anyone tell me, what should I do to enable the choice of which type, 
>(EXT2, EXT3, REISERFS) to use for my file system?

ext2 and ext3 are (from a fdisk point of view) the same. You can turn any ext2 
partition into an ext3 by using 
tune2fs -j /dev/...
This creates the journal file, You can start using it by modifying the /etc/
fstab to mount it ext3 instead of ext2.
