Its not any harder than installing ReiserFS or JFS on a fresh RH
install. Same goes for rescue options. Its even less difficult if you
use the SGI install disks Stuart mentioned.

One procedure is to copy all the data in root on a seperate partition
and boot with 'root=' set to that partition. Then format your original /
as XFS, copy the data back and reboot as usual. Remember to modify
/etc/fstab for each step.

My root is ReiserFS. Mainly because of the average file size I
mentioned earlier.
