I like that.  If you don't know enough Linux to use those tools (or how 
to read and understand whatever help they give) you probably don't know 
enough about the potential consequences of what you want to do.  That 
would be an excellent pons asinorum that would weed out most of the 
users who have overestimated their own knowledge and skills.  I presume 
that the GUI already has sanity checks that make sure that you don't put 
directories that must be on the root filesystem for booting onto 
separate partitions, and those would still apply.
