One answer: Use a command line tool, like fdisk, that does exactly
what you tell it to, rather than a GUI tool which works in the manner
it thinks best.
Over the last few years, I've let disk druid do its thing if I'm
prepared to accept the automatic defaults, but (part way through
running the install disc) I've usually swapped over to the command
line, if I want to do something different. And I'll set up the drive
how I want it, then go back to the install routine, and just select the
partitions I want the installer to use, without reformatting any of
them.
Particularly so for servers, where I've not only wanted a specific
layout, but also wanted the reliability assurance of running a bad
block test as well as the format. When setting up a server, I'd rather
spend the time doing integrity checks beforehand, than be surprised by
something nasty much later on, when it's wrecked my work.
I don't know why disc druid re-arranges the order of partitions, I
could only guess that the author might think that certain things (boot,
swap) are better at the start or middle of the drive, and arranges
things to what they think are optimum.
suppose one is doing RHCE exam .... and question is to partition a
disk in said order what he/she should do ??? if disk druid changes the
partition order automatically
does partition ordering is serious matter for the RHCE exam ????
according to question swap partition should be on hda2 and / partition
should be on hda3 , what is can be done if disk druid changes the
partition order randomly ??
if any RHCE is reading this list .....please explain the matter

before you actually start with disk druid in anaconda, you just switch
to virtual console <Control><Alt><F2> and then run 'fdisk /dev/sda' and
create your partitions in fdisk, switch back to anaconda
<Control><Alt><F7> and then use the partitions you created in fdisk.

give me a shell on that screen, _if_ it gives me a 2nd screen, which 90% of
the time doesn't happen, those key combos are ignored by nash. For the new
bee, there simply does not exist any method to get around fedoras use of a
broken disk partitioning tool unless it has been fixed _since_ F10.
