I have to admit to two errors:
a) Forgetting the name.  The name is "Disk Druid."

b) Assuming that it wasn't "Open Source."

The last I heard, Red Hat didn't provide a "standalone" version of Disk
Druid that could be run other than on the boot disk.  But people have
indicated that source *is* available.  (And someone should really build
an RPM for it... but I digress...)
