The "problem" I see that if users have fat32 and ntfs partitions and
install fedora, they can assign mount points for fat32 in anaconda and
can't do the same for ntfs. Anaconda is confusing me with that
behaviour - and is giving me the message that it doesn't work with
ntfs partitions. Some users who aren't aware of anaconda could
conclude that "Fedora doesn't support ntfs" because "Fedora installer"
doesn't recognize ntfs partitions.

It is a usability issue for me. It not made clear that after they log
in in gnome they can access their partitions.
