In Knoppix 7.0.5, I like reiserfs, but I'm not keen on grub

.
I like the new reiserfs option in Knoppix 7.0.5 LiveUSBs.
However, I don't look forward to tangling with grub.
I'd just as soon stick with syslinux.

According to Fabianx at
http://knoppix.net/forum/threads/145...serfs-any-idea
we might be able to continue with syslinux in 7.0.5
if its minirt.gz were further revised to also understand reiserfs.

What are the pros & cons here?
