I've been messing with RedHat systems and partitioning (fdisk & parted) for many years and I've always thought that a graphical partitioning tool should be available after the initial install. Like you, I even posted these thoughts a couple of years back. The interesting part is that at that time, I did receive a reply from one of the RedHat guys. He basically said that Disk Druid would eventually be made available for use after the install. Since that was well over two years ago, I doubt that we are going to see it any time soon. This leaves us with two choices for graphical partitioning after install: 1. QtParted - This GUI for the parted utility is available for download at qtparted.sourceforge.net. I've used it many times before and it seems to work fine, but its functionality is very limited. 2. DiskDrake - Switch to Mandrake and use their DiskDrake utility. I'm not a fan of the Mandrake distribution, so this isn't a viable solution for me. If anyone else has other alternatives, let us know. Good luck, Brian Hanks
