Conceptually there is no problem installing RPM's with it. However there are good reasons why not to - notably the libe2fs code doesnt not have the fragmentation evasion stuff the real ext2 does. No I see the install as a variant of that program so something like fdisk /dev/whatever mke2fs /dev/dsk/whatever mklinuxswap /dev/dsk/swapdisk installer load some basic cpio's boot linux - add the rpms.
