If you are using FC4, it is still there, I just built my system last night
and it was there.

And credit the Jarod website, it took my about 2hours to get everything up
and running from a brand new built computer.

Just make sure you type "linux jfs"  lowercase "L" in linux

You're not doing anything wrong, just select Ext3 and keep going.

I guess Fedora removed support for JFS or something.  The HOWTO should
be updated.  You're not the only one to be hung up on this.
