I just read from http://www.namesys.com/install.php about on how can I
switch or use ReiserFS to a 2.4 based kernel.  I'm still using the
default kernel of Debian Woody, 2.2.20(?) and I still need to download
the newest stable kernel this afternoon.  Should I follow the INSTALL
HOWTO of ReiserFS from it's site?

Afaik, 2.4.x kernels support the 3.6.x versions of ReiserFS, and vanilla 2.2.x kernels can't access ReiserFS 3.6.x filesystems (2.2.x has ReiserFS 3.5.x). If you're willing to live with ReiserFS 3.5.x on a machine with a 2.2.x kernel, you'll just need to find a way to transfer those files in the affected partitions before committing an mkfs -t reiserfs. At least that would minimize disruption by avoiding a kernel upgrade [but that's just me :-)]. Caveat emptor
