Tom....there was no question like that on the 7.0 install, the
new ext2 features that are incompatible with tomsrtbt 1.7.185
were used by default when a new filesystem was created by the
install. I suppose that when an upgrade type install was
performed then the system would still have the older ext2 file
system in place and it would not change. This would account
for the descripencies in some of the folks experiences with
Mandrake 7.0 and tomsrtbt 1.7.185.
