[new installation with reiserfs as filesystem]

You're right of course about boot... perhaps I will try just to see if it's possible...  :D

[new installation with reiserfs as filesystem]

Hi there!

If I want to do an new installation using reiserfs as filesystem...

I would follow the standard installation instructions exept at "Creating filesystems" I should use

"mkfs.reiserfs /dev/sda3" instead of "mkfs.ext4 /dev/sda3" ?

Could reiserfs also be used for the boot partition?

Thanks for your advice!  :)  :D

[Funtoo not systemd-free on Distrowatch]

Hi nrc,

what about an email? Just a short message to distrowatch.com that funtoo is systemd-free by default...

Funtoo is listed at without-systemd.org, so the folks at distrowatch could check this easily.

:)

So... can you help and what information do you need?

I will try and let you know the result. :)

[Installation, lost at "chroot"]

Hi there!

I'm new to funtoo - to linux too to be honest... :-)

I tried an installation according to the section "install" at the website.

Everything worked until i came to the headline "chroot into Funtoo"; actualy in this part it's NOT

mentioned how to chroot in the new system EXACTLY.

I tried several approachses like "chroot /dev/sdc" because there would be my root directory, according

to the previous steps.. But it doesn't work a bit. I searched the net but found nothing that helped me.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for your help
