That's a non sequitur.  Our standard kickstart installation sets up
a /data partition.  It's used to hold customer documents and references,
both of which can sensibly be accessed through an icon on the desktop.

The fact that /data is a separate partition is irrelevant to our
customers. It should appear on the desktop.
