As far as I know, most partitioning software prefers (or requires) that it
be run from a device other than the one being partitioned.

My point here is that the partition format of Apple HD's is NOT compatible
with that of MSDOS or Unix. I therefore feel that we should not even
attempt to supply this product. There are a number of very good disk
formatters that are available. Let's direct the user to one of them so that
they do not mess up their ability to run the MacOS.

IMHO, this is a pre-installation consideration.
