Well, I rebooted into the new kernel.  I have been playing around with
evmsgui and so far I can create a segment, whatever that is.


It's just EVMS speech for partition. Follow the "Terminology" link on the 
EVMS site.

I created 
a boot partition so far.  I can't figure out how to put a file system on
it but I got it made.  LOL


See chapter 13.2 of the users guide.

Any more pointers??  I need something.  Even the pictures on the link
you gave are not helping much.  It seems that system was already set up
and running.  Maybe I am missing something here.  < scratches head >


Hmm, the user guide has it all. For each topic it explains how to do it in 
cli, ncurses and gtk user interface. The chapters you should read are IMHO 
6, 7, 8, 9, 12, 13, 15, 16 and 19.

But at the moment it is Greek to me. I did figure out that a segment is a partition though. I can't get past this though. I create a segment then when I highlight it in available objects tab and go to Actions and select make file system, a window pops up. I select reiserfs which is what I always use here and then another window pops up. It says Select Plugin Acceptable Objects and it lists all my hda partitions. Since I don't want to mess with hda right now, this makes me "nervous". I don't want to mess up anything so I hit cancel.

What exactly am I supposed to do here? What is it going to do with whatever partition I select from the list?

I'm getting there. Hang in there with me. Mostly don't want to mess up. If I loose distfiles, I'm screwed. It would take me two weeks to download all that stuff.

Thanks
