Hi,

    FTOSX adopt ReiserFS four years ago, before ReiserFS enter in the 
Kernel.

    All three and next editions of FTOSX, had been made by me, like examples
    of the Personal Operating System.

    I will dedicate to solve the parted problem on the weekend, because 
I am busy
    with other tasks actually.

    As soon the installer works fine supporting Reiser4, including 
parted support
    it, I will comment in this mailing list, and offer for free donwload.

Thanks,
Giovanni
