Great, go ahead: http://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/InstallOnExt4

Can you put a bit more text around what you are doing there (especially
why you drop to a shell to do the formatting and partitioning)?

Thanks. Yes, I will elaborate it a bit.

It is done and ready to be edited.
Any comments on this are appreciated.
I've also probably did some really bad spelling errors 'cause I'm not
native English speaker/writer.

I modified it a bit.

However, I fail to understand why is all this complicate procedure
needed, given that starting the installer with "linux ext4" (linux
ext4dev for the centos releases prior to 5.5, if I am not mistaken)
achieves the same goal without any need for workarounds ? The ext4 type
of filesystem will be present in the disk druid interface and can be
used exactly as any other one.

Oops. Did not know that. If that is the case, the the article is really
not needed.

My wetware failure is to blame here - was thinking that only came in
with RHEL6 and failed to check; however, a brief article on ext4 the
"right way" would still be worthwhile.

Perhaps one of the QA team would test / confirm an ext4 installation,
whilst QA'ing C-5.6 ?

Looks east . . . Wolfy ? Looks west . . . Phil ?

Not sure about QA team, but I've just tested ext4 install using "linux
ext4" on CentOS 5.5. Works fine.
