The absolute easiest way without modifying installers that I can think
of is to use two systems/partitions/drives etc. (You can come up with
another method if you like)
System 1)
*) Install Redhat 7.3 as you wish with ext2/ext3
*) Install the 2.4.18-XFS or CVS Kernel and utilities
System/ 2)
*) Install Mandrake 8.2 on a 200 meg partition at the end of the drive
*) Make your XFS filesystem(s) on the rest of the drive as you want them
*) Copy the Contents of your Redhat 7.3 install to the XFS partitions
(rsync, etc)
*) Install/modify the appropriate boot managers
You can either leave the minimal Mandrake system or repartition and grow
your XFS filesystem.

On one system partition about 200 megs near the end of the drive to do a
Mandrake 8.2 minimal install.

Of course you are right in your opinion on Mandrake.
But for some reasons I cant switch my distribution.
I'm using RH since 1997, I was evaluating misc others,
Mandrake is cool but I must use RH.
