OK. Let me see if I get some of this now. Probably not but I have to |
| 35 |
start somewhere. I create hda1 and hda2 using cfdisk like usual. Then |
| 36 |
use the evmsgui to create the rest. I'll stop there for a while. See |
| 37 |
if I am on the right track so far. I'm going to play with hdb for a bit |
| 38 |
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 |
| 41 |
of folks having "issues" with it for some reason. My luck is not that |
| 42 |
good. |

I have the kernel made but I hate loosing my 3 weeks of uptime. Oh, I |
| 45 |
also noticed that webmin supports LVM. It don't like EVMS though. I |
| 46 |
get a boo boo message. Oh well. |
