THis is how i installed a pure reiserFS system. hdreiser.img is just to upgrade a reiser system but it can be used to install too. This must be done in expert mode. boot with the floppy image then when you get to the diskdrake section of the install you must change the file type to reiserFS in expert mode of diskdrake you will have to look for the right button to push. It has been almost a month since i have done this. Reiserfs has its minor problems ie. sometimes it freezes up and i have yet to get a 2.4.0 kernel to boot.
