I downloaded the 2 CD set of Redhat Rawhide/Roswell/7.1.93
and have playing around with an install.  The install process
has a few improvements, including:

You now get the choice of formatting your partitions with
ext2, ext3, vfat, and making a software raid.  Hence the
claim of journalized file system support (ext3).  You can
also upgrade existing ext2 partitions to ext3 during the
install/upgrade process.

You get the choice of using grub (now the default) or lilo,
and allows setting of a grub password (if you choose grub).

I assume this is a preview of things to come in 7.2.

Remember, this is a beta release, not intended for production 
use.  If anyone wants a copy to play, let me know.
