Let's put it this way.  First slackware hasn't got disk druid.  Second, I
seem to remember having used fdisk to partition and nname mount points on
this system for some strange reason.  Third, fdisk works lots better with
speakup.  It turns out that the first tool to have been used in linux was
fdisk and cfdisk was a curses version built on it later so ask yourself
why can a curses version of a program do stuff the original can't.
