Let's see ...

   File systems -> Partition Types ->
     [ ] Advanced partition selection

Nope!  Ahhh ... that's a good think to know!  I need to change my
*.config files the next time I rebuild my [S]RPMs.

Now the list is ...

   [*] Advanced partition selection
   [ ]   Acorn partition support (NEW)
   [ ]   Alpha OSF partition support (NEW)
   [ ]   Amiga partition table support (NEW)
   [ ]   Atari partition table support (NEW)
   [ ]   Macintosh partition map support (NEW)
   [*]   PC BIOS (MSDOS partition tables) support
   [ ]     BSD disklabel (FreeBSD partition tables) support (NEW)
   [ ]     Minix subpartition support (NEW)
   [ ]     Solaris (x86) partition table support (NEW)
   [ ]     Unixware slices support (NEW)
   [ ]   SGI partition support (NEW)
   [ ]   Ultrix partition table support (NEW)
   [ ]   Sun partition tables support
(NEW)                                               

Third one from the bottom.

Does anyone know if there are "issues" with being "too liberal" with
the partition support here?

P.S.  If someone would let me know when the date/timestamp of a
"good" CVS repository to build another set of RPMs from occurs, I'd
greatly appreciate it!
