Hi,
I try to keep the actual partition of the disk as it was before and do a fresh
install, but the snapshots looks like simply do not allow this now.
You can select Custom label and it will show the previous label, but then when
you write it, obviously no changes are present, but when you Quit

No label changes.
Wait. Don't you see what is wrong above?
Let me guess. The last time you used this disk, partition d was your
/home partition, right, and i is /var?
Nope.
Here is the standard setup on a truck load of servers. All use the same

How would we know that?

That's fair Theo.
But to make it short. Before when at the disklabel part of the install, one
could just type 'q' and it was then asked for the mount point of that actual

Daniel,
As made quite clear in Theo's post, a disklabel does not contain any
information about mount points.
All of the partitions you created in 4.5 exist, but the installer does not
know where to mount them, or even if you want to.
In 4.6 selecting (C)ustom layout will show you what's
You *NEED* to use 'm' to define mount points, this information will be passed
to the installer and won't be retained on-disk.
Or 'n'
There is a reason why the installer disklabel and fdisk commands both
have a 'M' command in them, to show the manual page.
Hopefully you are now aware of the

I agree, that is a handy shortcut. :-)

Hi Daniel,
It appears as if you're still confused.
Specifiy the mount points within disklabel using 'm' or 'n' has been
standard proceedure for some time.
Some users skipped this and waited for the confirmation prompts after
quiting disklabel.
This was deemed redundant, users can already
Hi Matthew
Use 'n' instead of 'm' to provide the needed mount points.
That address my question. An obvious over site on my part! I never used it until
today as far back as version 2.8.
With the old installer, while in the disk label editor, you could name
your mount points while creating
