'Gimme Gimme Gimme' Easter egg in man breaks automated tests at 00:30

Mount point selection

Sorry about the mount point bug in the installer, which several people have mentioned in comments. We did notice this shortly before release, but we were already past the point of no return.

Evan has committed a fix, which will be in the next release; but given how many people have mentioned this, I may look into preparing some kind of updated images with that bug fixed.
