hi, my lenny CD doesn't have ext4, I wanted to know if I formt a hard disk partition suppose /dev/sda5 using gparted to ext4 , can I mount and use that ext4 system in debian? If so, how?

in each case you would need another kernel, for example the 30-kernel from backports
(i still would not be completely sure if it would work, but i guess so)

Ah I see, better to ue ext3 for that partition. i actually wanted to make it a common partition between slack and debian. I'll make it ext3.
