Are there any programs available in F16 to produce the partitions to

I have an EFI netbook and installed F16 on it. Worked fine, not sure
what you mean.

It is good to know that Fedora can boot using the standard booting
system.But EFI is designs to use instead of BIOS and an MBR, a special
partition called a GPT that the system boots from. GPT based systems can
for example use more that 4 standard partitions and does not use
extended partitions. It supports several bootloaders other than BIOS.

For more information look at the December 2011 and January 2012 issues
of Linux Journal.

I guess the answer to your question is yes, Fedora 16 support EFI booting.
