A correction of my last  post.
 All that is missing is to type <CTL>-<ALT>F2  and
 you get a terminal which allows you to run fdisk. I do it each time I
 install a version. To get back use either F1 (if you are using linux
text installation) or F6 or F7 (if you are using gui installation)
with the CTL-ALT.
I agree Disk Druid is terrible
 except to set up the partitions after they are made with fdisk.
 I would never use automatic partitioning under any circumstances.
