[Rule-list] Re:modified scripts Suggestion: Keep mount info

[chris clark]

While you're tweaking, how about keeping mount info?

If I recall correctly, during installs, the
 partitioning stage forgets mount points. Is this
unavoidable?

Ideally, I'd like it to be able to detect the old
mount points whenever I install over an existing
linux system, but if that's impractical, is it at least
possible to remember long enough to back up
and reallocate partitions during install?

When installing over an existing linux system, why
not attempt to read /etc/fstab?

we could try mounting each linux partition as if it were either / or etc, and 
look for fstab.

Is this a reasonable idea?

I've been working on spliting the install scripts into several stages so
that people won't have to redo the whole thing if they make a mistake.
