This is now tested with DrakX 1.847:
> If you try to change that line by editing the textline (ex: ext3->ReiserFS),
> the installer will later complain about an unknown filesystem...
This part now "kind of" works, but you have to know exactly how the fs has to be
typed: ex:
'Journalised FS: ReiserFS' is OK,
'Journalised FS: reiserfs' will give you a fs/partition type of 0x0, wich breaks
the install
'Journalised FS: XFS' is OK,
'Journalised FS: xfs' will give you a fs/partition type of 0x0, wich breaks the
install
Another bug that showed up is that if you try to create a new partition,
the window that shows available filesystems is _way_ too wide, breaking
the install window... probably due to theese filesystem descriptions:
Digital Research...
IBM ThinkPad...
Linux/MINIX...
OS/2 (1.0-1.3)...
SpeedStor >1024...
And last, but not least, a Request...
When you choose a partition size, and you request a larger size than the
available unpartitioned space on the hdd, diskdrake should correct the
request to largest possible...

description:
When you get to the point where you have to partition the harddisks,
you can only choose fs type when you create the partition...
If you try to change fs type on an existing partition, you
are presented with an dialog with an editable text string:
Journalised FS: ext3
If you try to change that line by editing the textline (ex: ext3->ReiserFS),
the installer will later complain about an unknown filesystem...
AFAIK the user should be presented with a list of available filesystems...
