And I have yet to use it, and have it work just fine. For an example, the last time I tried it, it made a 500MB /usr dir on an 80GB disk, and moved the 100 MB /dev/hda1 "/boot" partition to hda5, and gave it 10GB. With help like that, I don't need any more enemies, thats more than sufficient. Gimme fdisk any old day by default. It may be hard for a gnubee to understand, but it does exactly what you tell it to instead of silently 're-adjusting' things to suit its own warped, broken, positively phsycopathic view of the world.
