Hi Huw,


That also rings true, but I thought that requirment had been removed 
with stage 1.5 files being xfs compatible now ?

that would also explain my earlier comment of why people believe that 
they had lilo "put" onto their computer for them by the installer if 
they suggested XFS.

Thank you for that reminder.
