Nope, copy and paste don't workAlbertP wrote:It is said that you can still copy/paste custom mount points into the installer. I haven't tried this.
It's an upstream bug, Ubuntu may have done it deliberately in their never ending quest to dumb down Linux, I'm not sure. But it is an upstream bug that really does need to be resolved before release.marc-koenders wrote:Replaced Mint 10 with 11 this morning and so far it looks great.
One thing tho, during the install I always partition manually and since i have a separate disk where i store my audio, video and so on I noticed that I could not manually enter a mount point for the second drive. I remember that that was possible when I installed Mint 10.
I don't know if that is a bug or a feature. So let me know if I should file a bug report against it.
Other then that everything seems to work great. So thank you very much for all the time, effort you put in to make the most amazing GNU/Linux distribution I have come across since I started with linux (Redhat 4.2)
Here's the notes from the bug filed with UbuntuAlbertP wrote:If Ubuntu is going ahead like this, we should fork Ubiquity I think. I'm afraid that this won't be the last Ubuntu change that people may not like.
Since Mint does not have the option of an "alternative" install this really does need to be resolved before Mint 11's release.Release-noted:
* The manual mount point entry box in the desktop installer's partitioner does not accept keyboard input. The drop-down still works, so various standard mount points may be selected, but custom ones cannot. This was noticed too late to be corrected for 11.04. In the meantime, you can mount partitions manually later, or use the alternate install CD. (Bug:769043)

When I tried to enable Desktop Cube in Compiz settings, hell broke loose. Window borders and titles disappeared, windows could not be moved, no workspaces anymore, just unusable. Not ready. Deleted a bunch of setup files to get to defaults again.
Really come on Mint developers! I know you are doing great work and all, but what the **** are final looking files lying about in Heanet for days without announcement. As it seems you should have put out a RC2 instead. Can we have a little transparency here?
