    Agree for sure. First I will re-write to be accurate that one part 
of fdisk is a raid-1 tool but it is a general partition making software. 
But I see no reason to be afraid of the set up proceedure. Yes you can 
screw up fdisk and make an error or errors. But all you need to know is 
to look at the changes with care before you hit w :-)
