Thanks - I have since found the installation page (quite obvious -
especially since I found the developers page first).  I have also noticed
the rc3 has disappeared - soon to be replaced.

I am wondering about the release criteria.  What criteria must be met to
make the 1.0 release, and what is missing as of yet?  I am curious because
of the development nature of reiserfs, there are still numerous bugs -
especially related to nfs support.  I believe grub is alpha as well, but I
have not heard that it is anything but release quality in nature.
