[plug] partitioning

[Christian Müller]

Fips is manual. I have actually never used it, as I have several harddrives 
in my computer and did a total new install of everything about half a year 
ago so that I could run it all. This way also my harddrives were configured 
in a way that I wanted. I don't really know of any other partitioning tool
