Description of problem:

I installed Fedora-11-Preview-x86_64-DVD from an ISO image stored on the hard disk partition /dev/sda6. I chose to create a custom partition layout for /dev/sda. However, I was unable to specify the mount point for /dev/sda6. When selecting /dev/sda6 and clicking "Edit", a popup window said that the partition holding the install image cannot be edited.

I understand that I am not supposed to be able to format the partition I am installing from, but I should still be able to specify the mount point. So, instead of disabling the entire "Edit" dialog for /dev/sda6, the "Edit" dialog should be displayed and allow to specify the mount point, whereas the format checkbox should be disabled.

I solved my problem by editing /etc/fstab after the installation, but this is suboptimal when compared to the desired behaviour of specifying the mount point during installation (as it was the case in previous releases).


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

as in Fedora 11 Preview Release


How reproducible:

always


Steps to Reproduce:

1. store installation ISO image in /dev/sdax (x indicates the partition number)
2. perform installation from /dev/sdax
3. select custom partition layout
4. try editing the partition /dev/sdax to specify the mount point


Actual results:

A popup appears, stating that the "Edit" dialog for /dev/sdax is disabled. 


Expected results:

The "Edit" dialog appears, allowing to specify the mount point and the filesystem type, but not allowing to format the partition.
