Not exactly the most elegant way of doing things; I'd still prefer to
see the option to format a partition as reiserfs in the installation
scripts (if I can ever find them ;) 

Besides, installing this box was a nightmare --- the debian stable
boot disks had/have a kernel that freezes half way through the boot
process. Hilarious. Almost ended up running SuSE instead, but built
some custom boot disks and used those instead. Any more time, for a
box for work would have raised eyebrows....

Cheers,

Simon
