Installing reiser in place will give you a lot of headaches (if it is even
possible). I suggest getting another hard disk, install mandrake, and
migrate over your configs from the old redhat box into the mandrake box.
Don't install in place, if you custom build your kernel, you be at a loss
when redhat releases a kernel update and you can't use it because of
course the reiser module isn't shipped along with redhat kernels.
