Don't forget that on some NFS environments, permanently changing this
location may make sense. Also note that this is a rather exotic feature
(considering that most end-user setups don't have multiple partitions),
so adding a GUI, documenting and translating it costs a few dozen hours
which aren't really worth the pain. We're better off telling admins and
advanced users how to set it up. The FAQ is meant to become a place
where most of the advanced setup procedures are described in
exotic/uncommon environments.
