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.

No thanks to DD.  I have enough insanity in my life, I'm married.
