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.
