You're not out of luck though. After the installer copies the ext4
install image, anaconda could run "btrfs-convert /dev/foo" and give you
a btrfs file system. The user even has the option to roll-back to ext4
later (with the caveat of losing any btrfs changes).

Just a thought.

Didn't Quite got my answer, the thing is, I Know in Fedora's 15 DVD we will
have the Option to select BTRFS as the Default filesystem.

I was wondering if there's a way to pass this option or have it using the
LiveCD images to install, I just Dont Like the DVD
The Idea is to ask anaconda to format the most of my HDD as it can with
BTRFS when I install F15. Will I be able to do this from the LiveCD?

Thanks again
