 Personally I'd rather see a nice graphical tool to do that outside of
 anaconda... why would that matter during installation?  It does matter
 afterward, and there are methods it can be done (the various auto mount options)
 but I really don't think there is any configuration tool available yet.

just click on the partition icon on your desktop and it will be mounted.

Thanks but I'm aware of this and thats what I meant by automatic mount. That does not provide a UI for configuration, for instance in order to set mount options on an ntfs partition to be fully labeled public_content_rw_t with a specific set of permission bits, gid, and uid.

It would not be easy to make a tool to handle those things without just using a text box for advanced options which just gets copied into the fstab (which is admittedly silly). But maybe a UI to let you choose the mount point in that case, so hal and gnome mount it where you want it.

But, I don't see the use case for needing anaconda to handle this. I'm sure most people who care where a partition gets mounted can handle the very quick edit to fstab, and those who don't care are getting it done for them already.
