Hi,
I've been helping another user for several days to resolve a restart problem
where he was having to wait for fsck because the shutdowns were generally not

Exactly. I've noticed this too, though. Is this a RPM feature, or urpmi?

Ah okay.
It's just to distinguish from 8.0 release. It's the alpha of 8.1.
A bit like when we used "7.3" as the mandrake-release after 7.2.
