This is a misperception. Linux rules the data center, not the desktop.
Therefore the vast bulk of Linux installs are not done this way. Instead,
entirely by network. I haven't heard anyone else complain about the mount

Now I think that the specific volume information displayed is just the text
in sources.list. So perhaps you could replace it with your desired text.
