Installing reiser4 under fc3

aesahaettr · 12-01-2004, 07:59 PM

Can anybody tell me how I would go about installing reiser4 under fedora 3?

Is there such a thing as a simple kernel module for reiser4, or am I going to have to install a new kernel? I would prefer not to move away from the standard fedora kernel.

Also I assume I would need to install reiser4-utils or something, is there an rpm for this or do I have to install from source?

Any ideas?

It's a lot more complicated than just that...
Reiser4 looks nice, but has many compatibility issues.
I cant even make it work with GRUB.

I didn't think I would need grub to support it, since I'm not using it for my boot or root partition.
