[Sheflug] Help for a Debian newby

["James Mears" <james [at] xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

Sorry to sound a bit thick :-)

I am installing Debian 3.0r1 for my first time. I have downloaded the iso
images with jigdo (very nice) and I have downloaded the latest updates CD.

I am just a bit confused by the disc partitioning. 

Does Debian 3.0r1 only use EXT2? I cannot see any other option for reiserFS
etc on the partition type menu. It just says "Linux" type 82 on the list I
think?

Is that right or am I missing something obvious?

I know that 3.0r1 is nearly a year old but I thought I would try the stable
version rather thn going for testing or unstable. The installer will take a
bit of getting used to - I have been spoilt by SuSE and Mandrake over the
last few years :-)

Thanks

James
