I beg to differ.
You need to watch Disk Druid in action some time.
I have tried to generate a series of partitions, of known sizes, in a known
order, only to find Disk Druid REORDERING them. Its very frustrating.
I ALWAYS partition with fdisk. Ill use Disk Druid to associate a name
with an existing partition during the install, but nothing else.
And sorry, I must have mistyped when I looked for it, but fdisk is indeed
in /sbin/fdisk on FC2.
