i tried to YUM it and i recieved a lot of conflicts with ext2online with
the already installed e2fsprogs. i naturally tried to uninstall
e2fsprogs and recieved a flood of programs that would be uninstalled so
i quit the attempt.
That would be because ext2online is included in the e2fsprogs package -
you should already have it.
