This is obviously confusing people, though. I don't think so. The left half of the "Manual Partitioning" screen refers to mount-points in at least three places, explicitly referring to using the '+' below to create "mount-points". And what does it show there when unfolding a '+' entry? Correct, it displays mount-points. Paths such as "/mnt/storage". Yes, it also displays what might be the corresponding partition labels, although it writes the first character of such labels in upper-cases, e.g. "Storage" instead of "storage". Btw, the mount-points it displays at the left side of the screen cannot be copied/dragged to the right side, although there is a large ">" arrow that apparently is there only to highlight that the left and right side belong together. ;) I've had to type in the same mount-points on the right side before clicking "Apply Changes". -- Fedora release 18 (Spherical Cow) - Linux 3.6.7-5.fc18.x86_64 loadavg: 1.28 0.65 0.25 -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
