Created attachment 139592 [details] Screenshot of partitioner SUMMARY The partitioner will not accept custom mount points - that is, not from the dropdown list - without a non-intuitive procedure. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Run KDE neon installer 2. At the partitioner, choose manual 3. Select a partition 4. Type a non-standard mount point, e.g. /data OBSERVED RESULT The name does not "stick". See the screenshot, which was a second attempt to edit the existing entry by typing /data into the field. EXPECTED RESULT The name should go into the partition table. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS KDE neon v5.22.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION To make the name stick, do this: Choose / from the dropdown list of names Put the cursor to the right of the / Type the remainder of the mount point name This is a minor bug but can be frustrating. The solution is not obvious and in some cases may cause the user to choose another distro.
