Ok, that's clear, but what about root partitions. Can they be converted
from another distro? Or is that necessary? If I log in to redhat on hda6
and convert a few from there, then log in to libranet or something on say

using tune2fs is the only way to convert existing partitions.
simply unmount the partition, 'tune2fs -j /dev/xxx'
and then edit /etc/fstab to say ext3 instead
