* keep the following points in mind:

  - do not use this for your most important data - it seems to work
    fine but it did not have haevy testing on the ppc yet
  - if you want to test it as root fs - add a "read-write" to your
    yaboot.conf for the xfs root entry
  - be patient - remounting the filesystem read-only on bootup (SuSE)
    or shutdown (linuxppc) takes a few seconds

one thing i forgot: the tree is based on the normal linux-2.4.0-test5
kernel - so you may get problems with it on exotic hardware - because
this one does not have some things from the paulus, benh or fmlabs
trees in it (but for instance it works fine on my blueberry imac)
