 Hi Devon....beg to differ....but maybe you had been using older
versions....cfdisk is all I've been using for quite some time...and it
seems to make nice clean partitions....checked with fdisk after.  I know
some have had trouble with it (overlapping partitions)  but this was just
my experience....and more than anything I was thinking of the
newcomers....myself; I can fumble through an install with fdisk if need
be...:-)).........Gord
