Thanks for this patch - it was a good one, but I'd like some further
discussion, as per below.

I think we can simply kill this section of the instructions entirely -
Windows partitions should *always* be mounted by default on Ubuntu.

It's not correct that by default rights are given only for root - this
problem was fixed prior to the Ubuntu 6.06 release
(https://launchpad.net/distros/ubuntu/+source/partman-basicfilesystems/+bug/25071)
It will still affect users who installed their system before the release
of Ubuntu 6.06, but this is probably a minority of our users.

As a result, I believe there is no need for system documentation on the
subject, because it will be necessary in rare use cases only.

Also, that pysdm program looks seriously scary.
