Is core2 partition manager better than core1?
I had some serious problems with core1.
1 Size Partions were inserted between the original
ones. Install couldn't find any data after that.

How about giving it a go and telling us? Did you Bugzilla the "problem"
you encountered with Core 1?
Sounds very like the one I reported:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=109812
Six months later it's still "Status: New".
(I had had a nicely laid out disk, with the partitions numbered in
the order they appeared on disk. Anaconda thought I didn't have enough
space in /var, so I deleted and recreated /var and /usr.
Disk Druid renumbered all the partitions after /var and /usr, including
a VFAT partition, giving the new /var and /usr the highest partition
numbers).
This action is why I *dislike* Disk Druid. If I create partitons in a
certain order, that is the order I expect them to be in when done, not
some arbitary order the "Druid" thinks is best.
As I pointed out at the time, some software will refuse to handle this,
considering it a straight bug; Fedora 1 fdisk prints a warning message;
if there'd been an NT-based OS on that partition, then that would
probably have been hosed; and if anything else rewrites the partition
table ever, the chances are it will put everything back into physical
order, moving everything round AGAIN.
It will probably take me a while to get time to experiment with FC2.
