Well, actually, yeah they were rpms, but you still have to make xconfig, make
dep, etc, etc, .... I chose reiserfs as a module. But when I booted, I got
an error. And then it (something) wanted to rename my cdrom, floppy, and zip
from /mnt/s to /dev/s. Weird sh*t. I've compiled several kernels in my day,
but I have just started using reiserfs. I don't know. I did use reiserfs
when I installed 8.0, and now I'm going to be nervous about upgrading the
kernel when the newer ones come out. I bet there was something I was
supposed to do, similar to like when we have to edit mandrake_everytime to
point to the new supermount directory. ???
