Experimental Reiser4-enabled Ubuntu kernels ready for testing

["Maciej Sołtysiak" <pysiak.satriani@wp.pl>]

Hello,

as I said, I'd be doing this, so...

ftp://ubuntu.ae.poznan.pl/

There is a readme.txt file that says:
== Description ==
This directory contains Ubuntu Linux kernel image packages with support
for Reiser4 (http://wiki.namesys.com)

== Usage ==
1. download a desired kernel image
2. install the kernel:

$ sudo dpkg -i <downloaded_file>

3. reboot, let the new kernel boot
4. prepare a partition (eg. fdisk /dev/sdb)
5. get reiser4progs (mkfs.reiser4, fsck.reiser4, ...) 

$ sudo apt-get install reiser4progs

6. make the filesystem:

$ mkfs.reiser4 /dev/sdb1

7. mount it:

$ mkdir /mnt/r4
$ mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/r4

8. mount should show:
$ mount | grep reiser4
/dev/sdb1 on /r4 type reiser4 (rw)

9. lsmod | grep reiser4 shoud show:
reiser4               418392  1

10. Play!

== Technical details ==
The images were built using Edgy Eft's build system on current ubuntu
GIT repository. The configurations of the kernels are the same as ubuntu
ships them + reiser4 option enabled as module.

The images come in a few flavours: 386,686,k7, server-bigiron, server.

== Disclaimer ==
This is all experimental stuff. These are my first publicly available
kernel images. Tested *only* on my virtualized machine on Edgy Eft!

Please test and report. I am open to suggestions.

One more thing... If it breaks, don't sue me, my pet hamster is an
excellent attourney.
