Disk druid within gnome?

[Robert Moskowitz]

Is disk druid available for partitioning (and formating) a USB attached 
drive while running fedora?

I have a 120Gb drive in a USB housing and I want to delete the old Linux 
partitions, create a single ext3 partition, then rsync all my data to 
this drive...

I ran this - and (at least without any free disk) it had no options
for partitioning or installing (f12).

I suggest gparted for that.

I Have no idea what I was trying to say with that bit ..

I didn't find it doing a yum search for druid.

You can use fdisk to do this, if you don't need exactly disk druid.
