It seems as if the bare-bone tool actually gets used very extensively by
installers, in which case the entire process is greatly simplified. For
some reason, I wasn't able to do this when trying Ubuntu and RedHat. I was
assuming that Linux must be installed before Windows, but I guess it was
silly altogether.
I wonder what impact WinFS will have on all of that. It is intended to sit
on top of NTFS.
