I'm not 100% sure, but I think Anaconda looks in /proc/filesystems what filesystems are supported, so if you would include support for reiserfs and/or xfs in the kernel, that would work also in Anaconda. You also need to make the appropriate utils packages available when generating the distro, so that they are picked up when "upd-instroot" is called (these package names are already included, so if they are in the repository, "upd-instroot" will automatically include them). -- -- Jos Vos <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -- X/OS Experts in Open Systems BV | Phone: +31 20 6938364 -- Amsterdam, The Netherlands | Fax: +31 20 6948204 rhel-rebuild mailing list rhel-rebuild-l@uibk.ac.at Hosted at the University of Innsbruck, Austria
