I would think this is an option.  Perhaps you have to be under "expert" mode
or something.  Mandrake allowed me to do it when I installed at a customer
site last month (used 7.2) but I had to install in expert mode.

Subject: [TCLUG] RedHat and journaled file system (laptop)


I'm planning to install RedHat on a laptop computer (one big root
partition) and would like to use some kind of journaled file system
instead of ext2.  Does anyone know of a good way to install RedHat onto a
ReiserFS root file system?  Would it be better (more convenient) to drop
back to RedHat 6.2 and use ext3?

Oddly, it's possible to create a reiserfs file system after booting from
the RedHat 7.1 CD, but the kernel does not include reiserfs support, so
there's apparently no way to mount the reiserfs file system.
