[plug] setting up to use reiserfs

Hello

I've merrily setup my new system with partitions /, /boot, /tmp. /var, 
/usr, /usr/local, and /home.
Then I loaded Lots Of Useful Stuff.

This was the wrong approach because I wanted to use reiserfs. I've copied 
most of the partition contents to / through a /tmpsomething directory and 
umounted the partitions; all in runlevel 1.

Edited fstab so they aren't going to reappear just yet.

/usr is problematic because it's contents are much bigger than the / 
partition. I'll fall of that bridge when I get to it.

Before I proceed, am I right in assuming I could not make /boot a reiserfs 
(I'm using lilo) and / is only 200MB so it'll fsck pretty fast and 
therefore not to bother ?

ps Are these the wrong questions ? :-)

All the best
Harry
