1G partiton size

I'm interested in fooling around with this.  However, having looked at it,
i don't see how the larger partition size can be achieved without hacking
the pager stuff out of ext2fs and libdiskfs.  What am I missing?

Also, heh, where can i find a /searchable/ list archves?  I can't seem to
figure out how to search on Geocrawler.

Thanks,
