[Moritz Angermann]

so i check it all out:
thanks for your help.
so this is what i'm going to do,
i'd just like to have it confirmed, so
i get less risk to kill my FS.

#0 backing up my data
#1 getting 2.4.18
#2 getting all patches from
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfs-for-2.4/2.4.18.pending
#3 applying them all to my 2.4.18 kernel.
#4 make clean;make menuconfig;make dep;make bzfloppy[;make modules;make
modules install ?]
#5 getting
ftp://ftp.namesys.com/pub/reiserfsprogs/reiserfsprogs-3.6.2.tar.gz
#6 unpacking it; ./configure --prefix=/mnt/floppy/rfsp;make;make install
#7 reboot
#8 umount /
#9 rfsp/reiserfsck /dev/hda6 --fix-fixable
#10 reboot [and hope]

You want not only have new kernel on floppy, but also as a default kernel, too.

unmounting / is not possible, so you must boot off some rescue media here in
fact.
