Slackware Reiser4 Installer

Slackware Reiser4 Installer

[Valentine Sinitsyn]

Hi all,

I've prepared a modified installer disk for Slackware Linux 10.2 which
allows to install this distro on Reiser4 partitions almost the same
way you do with other FSes (ext2/3, reiserfs etc), i.e. with no kernel
recompilation by yourself etc. It is now under internal testing (i.e.
installed on my friends computers) but I think it will be completely
ready to the next week. I saw this thread in mailing list:

PH>Our first contribution will be a practical guide to installing Reiser4 (with
PH>metadata enabled) under Ubuntu 5.10.

HR>Oh, that sounds great, it will go onto our website under the install
HR>button if you are kind enough to allow that.

and just thought it can be also worth to be presented "under install
button". It's 20Mb ISO image. What do you think?

P.S. I will be on business trip from this evening till the end of Saturday
so please don't treat the lack of answers from me as the lack of
interest. ;-)

Best regards,
Valentine Sinitsyn

Okay, thanks a lot. I'll give a link here just after ISO will be ready
for distribution.

You can link to http://ftp.linuxcenter.ru/projects/slackware-reiser4/
An introduction to this project can be found in README.TXT in the same
directory. Thank you again.
