Well i did it the really hard way, i wgot the files over a V90 modem and 
then burt the ISO's on to CD. Looks quite nice tho !! (just remember to 
re-compile the Kernel to get the CD ROM support !)

I am using EXT3 works v.well... i even reset the pc (w/o shutdown umount 
etc) and it booted including a fsck in no time... hehehe.. (thats on a 
49GB file system over 4 HDD's)

Go on.. you kow you want to....
