I doubt that it can be done - Linux was build as multiuser system to avoid
security and other issues which present in m$. So making a singleuser system
is equal with building a m$ clone. And I doubt we need it.
But it doesn't mean that mouning/umounting can't be done normally. Larry
Garfield was right - 1970s are over.
