          You're not out of luck though. After the installer copies the
          ext4

          install image, anaconda could run "btrfs-convert /dev/foo" and
          give you

          a btrfs file system. The user even has the option to roll-back
          to ext4

          later (with the caveat of losing any btrfs changes).

          
          Just a thought.

          
    Didn't Quite got my answer, the thing is, I Know in
      Fedora's 15 DVD we will have the Option to select BTRFS as the
      Default filesystem.
      

      I was wondering if there's a way to pass this option or have
        it using the LiveCD images to install, I just Dont Like the DVDÂ
      The Idea is to ask anaconda to format the most of my HDD as
        it can with BTRFS when I install F15. Will I be able to do this
        from the LiveCD?
      

    As Michael said, there's a convenient utility to convert your ext4
    to btrfs, which can be installed with a few commands (if it doesn't
    come on the LiveCD).

    This is actually a Good Thing since btrfs doesn't even have fsck yet
    and so isn't meant for the average user.

    
    BTW, I tried using btrfs on a test machine and managed to kill it
    completely in a few hours without trying.
