Actually, no. Later, on the live dvd, I ran a search for reiserfs - came up two packages, one being reiserfsprogs, and the other being something like progsreiserfs(?), can't remember the name for sure. It also mounted my reiserfs partitions just fine.

So yes, it supports reiserfs.

Thanks.

Well I have been running this for a long time now and still it just works and keeps getting better. It still is in beta so when it hits version 1 it will most certainly rock.
There are no new releases to report about because this is a rolling release so we simply install once and update forever.

Pamac package manager has developed to a fully fledged package manager that also will update AUR installs.
Octopi is even better in some aspects especially when searching for software.

Both are great package managers.
