It's certainly a bit confusing to have text that talks about 'creating mount points', but the two actual viable operations are to 'set a mount point' or to 'create a partition and give it a mount point'.

Yes, and this is another confusing bit: the left hand pane shows you the mount point *within the old OS install*, while the 'Mount Point' text box in the _right_ hand pane lets you assign the partition a Mount Point *for the new OS install*. I can see how this is confusing if you don't know what's going on. If you know that the left hand pane is trying to tell you your current layout, while the right hand pane gives you options for the new layout, it kind of makes sense, but if you don't know that, it's rather fuzzy. > > We're currently discussing ways of clarifying the whole layout and > > intent of the left-hand pane. > > Good idea!
