OK.  Let me see if I get some of this now.  Probably not but I have to
start somewhere.  I create hda1 and hda2 using cfdisk like usual.  Then
use the evmsgui to create the rest.  I'll stop there for a while.  See
if I am on the right track so far.  I'm going to play with hdb for a bit
first.  See if I can get it to boot up. 

I plan to make it boot without the initrd thing if I can.  I have read
of folks having "issues" with it for some reason.  My luck is not that
good. 

I have the kernel made but I hate loosing my 3 weeks of uptime.  Oh, I
also noticed that webmin supports LVM.  It don't like EVMS though.  I
get a boo boo message.  Oh well.

Thanks

Dale
