It's not? I don't think we changed this... at one point we changed the
_default_ over to xfs, and I don't think that has changed. (but I'll
look to be sure) We have always had an "fs" option in kickstart for
each partition, which can be specified as either ext2 or xfs...

Um... are you sure? see -
ftp://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/Release-1.0-test3/RH7.1-SGI-XFS-0.10.4/RedHat/base/stage2.img
Should be on the iso as well...

Lots of magic happens there - if it's really missing, then the install
won't work.

ftp://linux-xfs.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/Release-1.0-test3/RH7.1-SGI-XFS-0.10.4/images/bootnet.imgtest3
either.

No, it's not incremental like that.

Possibly, but probably not, and you shouldn't need to. Are you sure
you got all the right bits?
