problems faced with FC1

[Boon Wee]

Hi,

I installed FC1 and faced the following problems:

1) During installation, the installation failed during partitioning. I 
found out that the reason is due to my /home partition, which I am 
trying to preserve, is formatted as a ReiserFS. It seems that FC1 
installation cannot support a previously partition formatted in 
ReiserFS. My question is why is FC1 not supporting ReiserFS?

2) So I backed up my /home partition and wiped out everything. Installed 
successfully. But found that installing the alsa, xine, mplayer packages 
is a complicated process. It seems that most other distros ship with the 
alsa, xine, mplayer packages except for FC1 and RH9. Why is this so?

Is FC1 targetting itself at desktop/workstation based or server based 
users? IMHO, I believe multimedia capabilities should be included as 
base for desktop/workstation users?

Just my 2 cents worth of comments.

Rgds,
Boon Wee
