That's definitely the way to go, then, but as I said, it's a bit hard to
pin down why you're having trouble. The mount point box *should* be
available for existing partitions. I did test this in F19 pre-release.

Well, the old-school method would be 'point your digital camera at the
screen' :) You could boot the GNOME live image and use its in-built
screen capture function - shift-ctrl-alt-r to start and to stop - but
you'd probably exhaust available memory quite quickly that way :/
