Hi Karl, 
Thanks for your feedback even if it may not be my flavour or taste ! ;-)
For me it's always interesting to hear, see and then compare to my own
best !! :-)

As for fdisk:
Yes, I know fdisk since early 80ies and since more than 13 years I have
not used it 
as a regular tool. So GParted for me is even better what I used to use
in the past 10 years !!! ;-D

Cheers, svobi
