It does come with that functionality. RH has several utilities which do exactly that, fdisk and parted among other things. Those utilities=20 are not gooey, but command line and can do whatever YaST2 or some other=20 gooey tool can do. Bottom line is that disk partitioning is not for beginners or fainthearted people. If you know what you're doing, you can do it with fdisk. If you don't know what you're doing and=20 you're doing it anyway, you should have been a politician.
