Partition changes while install F14

[sdawalt at donet.com]

    I was hoping to use anaconda's GUI interface to repartition my  
hard drive while installing F14, but I ran into a problem with  
anaconda's custom layout option.  (I currently have F9 installed.)   
After I resize the partition then re-edit the partition and choose the  
Format option, anaconda tends to forget the size I entered and resets  
it to the original size.  After playing with this a while, I chose to  
continue with installation .  This caused anaconda to throw an  
exception having to do with partition information.

    I can use a character-based partitioning tool, but it's been years  
since I've used one.  Is there one that is preferred?
