Jordan K. Hubbard a9b434857b Minor tweak: Change name of "Master partition editor" to "FDISK partition
editor" here and in the docs.  People have come to understand "FDISK"
as a more generic term and have been complaining that they didn't
equate the "master" partition editor with the old fdisk stage and were
confused.

Jordan K. Hubbard e68b53ea5f It took a non-native speaker of English to show me that I couldn't
speak english.  In this doc I say that "2.0.5 fills a much needed
gap between 2.0R and 2.1."  No wonder the translators were confused!
I'm trying to say that we _wanted_ a gap between 2.0.5 and 2.1?  That
such gaps are much needed?  Wurgh!  Not what I was trying to say at
all!  It should have (and now does) read: "2.0.5 fills a critical
gap between 2.0R and 2.1."  Critical gap, not much needed. :-)
Translators:  You may wish to adjust your own translations as
well if you tried to translate my original botch!  Send me diffs
as soon as you can.  Thanks!
