Comment 17 for bug 258603

Did you solve the problem? I installed without mounting /home, but now I
really have a problem 'cause I need to remount /home any time I reboot.
Dunno why, but system doesn't mount ext3 partitions (excepting /) to mount
points I want them to. Tried to feed UUIDs and full paths as /dev/sdb1 to
/etc/fstab, nothing changes. Maybe I'm a damned lamer, lol.

Sorry for bad english.
