Re: RH7.3 installer - question

[Michael Best <mbest@emergence.com>]

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.
