Ok, there's a new system installer iso at 

ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/download/testing/Release-1.0.1-PR3/iso/

for the new 1.0.1-PR3 XFS code.

Again, rsync is your friend here, especially if you got the previous
ill-fated iso.

Sorry about the bad iso before, Red Hat snuck in some new locales that
broke anaconda - so anaconda-7.1 would not build a 7.1 installer.  :)

The only people who _really_ need this installer are those who had
trouble with RAID devices with the 1.0 installer.  Everyone else can
just upgrade an XFS 1.0 install w/ the new RPMs.  But I'll be happy to
have several people test this version.

There are a couple bugfixes in the installer:

- you can't put LILO on the boot partition if it's XFS
- choosing to not format an existing ext2 partition won't cause a crash
:)
- Plus some other misc. fixes from 1.0 that were on the update floppy.

Have fun,

-Eric
