The Slackel Live Installer (SLI) supports installation on different filesystems (btrfs, ext2, ext3, ext4, jfs, reiserfs, xfs). Note that cannot use xfs filesystem and grub because after installation system will not boot. So for xfs choose (e)Lilo instead. /root partition will be formatted in the filesystem type you choose from drop down menu. While /home partition (if you create a separate partition for /home within gparted and choose to format it) it will be formatted in the filesystem type you already have chosen within gparted. So can have /root and /home with different filesystem.
