Yes indeed.  You use 'ext2'.

You keep it unmounted & why not keep it separate anyway ?

With  1  HDD of  320 GB  (my plan), what are the advantages of LVM ?
There is at least a small amount of learning & fuss setting up LVM,
whereas without it you can simply rely on good old Fdisk.

BTW does anyone care to make the case for Grub ?  Lilo is so easy.
(I don't mean to start a silly dispute, just to learn from others)

Otherwise, thanks for all the reassurance re Lilo & ReiserFS on 64 bits.
