That would be excellent, I have asked the FC mailing list for ideas on 
how to get this in the main stream anaconda without having to type linux 
xfs all the time at the install boot prompt to get XFS support.

I don't understand why they are so resistant to adding XFS and ReiserFS 
support to FC and Anaconda. I would be very interested in knowing the 
reason.

Cheers,

Aly.
