Installing wallboard with rounded drywall?

I just finished a Pergo installation and I am in the process of installing the wallboards. However, I am unsure about how to cut the pieces to fit around my rounded drywall edges.
Is there a special gadget that will make this easier? Or am I stuck trying to cut that middle piece without losing a finger?
Also, what's best to attach the wallboard? Liquid Nails, or finishing nails? Thanks!

Fred:
I think I know what Stuart is trying to say? The only method I've used in this case is to make four 22 1/2º cuts if it's a 90º outside corner. That little center piece that probably only measures 1 1/2" should be cut from a longer board to prevent injury.
Anotherwords make one 22 1/2º cut from a 12" piece, make your mark and cut it. You should have what you need, and use liquid nail to attach it, as a nail will always split it.
