Actually, that is not true. It is not in the documentation. When I was
installing I followed along with the documentation. The step in question
is at:
<http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/doc/81/en/user.html/
formatpartitions.html>
That section does not include a single word about being careful of
Windows partitions.
Again, I do think it is important to include (in both the documentation
and the installer) at least one warning line like:
"Warning: Windows partitions must be in the first partition in order to
boot from Linux."
