nah, it is there when you install . . . I don't remember the syntax, 'install reiserfs' or similar?
yeah, REVELATION = brain fart on my behalf - sorry! I was thinking REISERFS during the installation, not XFS!. Sorry! That's my fault. But someone has a page out there saying how they use XFS and rh7.3 and I think 8.0 installing it onto XFS fs. Via a kickstart file and some tweaks. He even has his ks file on his site.
anyways, sorry for the reiserfs/xfs thing. I'll go to sleep now!

It's in the kernel (although I'm not sure if it's enabled by default).
It isn't available at *install* time (my last being around two hours
ago) which means you'd have to install and then convert your filesystems
to XFS, which I can assure you is a PITA.
