One more point/request (sorry!).

I'd like to see a GUI partitioner interface somewhere. Actually Anaconda
has it already.  If you select not to use the automatic partionioning
proposal during install there is an option to open it. Why note expose this
GUI to user after installation then? It will be useful when attaching more
hard disks(s) to the system or just claiming unused space from existing
harddisks.

It may be possible already to invoke the Anaconda partitioner GUI interface
from command line somehow, but most users will not be able to figure out
how (and I cannot either).
