moonshine and disk druid

I did something that wasn't in the howto with disk druid and so far as I 
can tell, it was successful.
First I started out by selecting default partitioning.  Next where it said 
view and modify partitions I picked yes.  Third, I got onto the big slash 
partition and hit f2 and was asked to you want to create a new partition 
or logical volume and I chose to create a new partition.
4) Since I want to create two more partitions and the slash partition is
    the space from which these are being taken I figured the slash
    partition should be 1/6 of the original space and the /usr/local should
    be 1/3 and the /home should be 1/2.  So I keyed in my mount point for
    /usr/local and divided the 113,354MB by 1/3 and keyed that number in as
    the size.  I had to backspace over the 1 that was already there to get
    rid of it.  Then having finished up that partition I repeated the
    process after having gotten back onto the slash partition and created
    the /home partition with 1/2 the space that was originally in that
    slash partition.
If possible could some of you try this method out and see if it's any 
easier?  If so, it may be useful to update the howto's disk druid section
