I am looking for an open source partitioning program/frontend similar to what is used in a redhat or mandrake installation. What is a good one to use that doesn't require X (I would prefer ncurses)? Also, where do I get the source for such a program? Thanks!

Well maybe it's not exaclty what you are looking for but there's 'parted'. It's also in the Gentoo LiveCD if you want to try it quickly.

Do you mean cfdisk? It is part of the sys-apps/util-linux package. If you've installed that package the source is in:

usr/portage/distfiles/util-linux-2.11y.tar.bz2

No, I need a way to not only make the partitions but also choose their mountpoints and export them to system variables. Similar to what Redhat's installer GUI partitioning tool does.
