OK, one more question--probably stupid, but I need to be sure. Will
the kernel installed by such an installation include XFS, SGI
partition, and SMP support, even if I don't create an XFS filesystem
during the installation?

And just for planning purposes...should I schedule a 7.1 pre 1.0 XFS
installation within the week, or will I end up wishing I'd waited a
couple days for 1.0 release?
