Thanks, I'm eager to test the new features of reiser4 now that it has stabilized a bit since 2.5. I might also experiment with trying to port the x86-specific bits to sparc64 and then try to port the lilo patch to silo. I know the webpage says it is for x86 only, still I would like to give it a try on my sparc64 box with a spare disk I have lying around. IIRC, the actual infrastructure seemed fairly portable and arch-independant. Cheers, Nicholas
