Thats exactly my point, when I last looked at the display it was setup 
the way I wanted it, but when it came time to do the install, it 
bombed because the usr was full in about 20 packages.  Thats when I 
found, for the second time that it has a mind of its own.  I found a 
cd that had fdisk on it and redid it from scratch.  All my data, 5 
years worth of email archives etc was gone at that point and I sure 
as hell wasn't going to trust it ever again.  That BTW was when I was 
installing FC3RC3 on a box that also had a Brain Dead Install of emc 
on it, on seperate partitions.  It ate that too.  How, by my leaveing 
hdb in the menu's so it would use the same swap partition, it 
formatted the whole damned thing.  Yes, that was a replaceable 
install, but why the hell should I have to screw with something thats 
as drain bamaged as Disk Druid?

Until it does EXACTLY what the user wants it to, to any number of 
disks available on a system, (thats its first achilles heel, it can 
only deal with one hard drive, not enough smarts to handle 2 or more) 
take it away, I don't ever want to see it again.  Its dead Jim, I 
tell you its dead, now please bury it somewhere deep enough it can't 
smell up the place.
