     We are currently running SL 3.0.5 with XFS for ALL file systems.  We
started with the SL 3.0.2 CD's and upgraded to 3.0.5.  We have been running
this way for over a year now.
     We are now about to try installing SL 4.5 from scratch on blank drives
and want XFS for all file systems.  I downloaded all 6 SL 4.5 ISO images and
coverted it all to one DVD using tips from the SL Web site.  I noticed that
XFS support RPM's were in the ISO for CD 6.  This is as far as we have gotten.
 I was hoping that all we would have to do after booting the DVD was:

	linux xfs

and we would be able to create XFS file systems using normal install tools.
 Was this just wishful thinking?
