Hi I wonder if it is possible for the installer to have the option of data for hard drive name mount point .
I am talking in reference to the installer where the user will select each section of the hard drive and what its for (e.g /boot or / or /home).
Since I have two hard drives (one with the sidux system), the second hard drive is for backups and personal data.
At the moment if I perform a fresh install I have to manually re-set-up the fstab file with the second hard drive.
It would be nice on the installer to select the hard drive and select it as /data.
This way the fstab gets populated for me by the installer.
If I am using the installer wrong then please correct me but at the moment the user has a very limited drop down list to select from.

I think the problem would be that there are an infinite number of names that people use for the non-standard mount points. "Data" is fine, but I use "images", "music", "docs", "videos", and "backups". Other folks use even more.  |

| would be nice if the installer can let user enter their nonstandard mountpoints, so that the fstab's already setup after install |
