yes, many of the things I want to do do not work well with the standard
web interface, but upon deeper reading, i need at least a firmware
update to use 2.4 series kernels, and it looks like I will have to use
ext2 at least for my root and boot partitions, but with hope I can use
XFS for everything else. I'll post my results in case anyone is
interested.
