Upgrading with installer: treatment of pathnames

Hi,

This is almost cosmetic in significance, but it annoyed me enough to be worthy of a bug report.

I'm upgrading from 3.2 to 3.3 using the installer. It carefully told me that it was mounting my home filesystem on `/mnt/home', but then when it asked me for the directory containing the upgrade tarballs, it didn't accept `/mnt/home/...', it needed `/home/...'. At first I typed `/mnt/home/...', of course, since it had just said that's the mount point it used, and it said the directory didn't exist. I reboot back into 3.2 just to verify that the directory name was what I thought it was, and scratched my head trying to figure out why the installer kept telling me it wasn't there. _Finally_ I noticed the suggestion that I type `?', which I had ignored since I knew where the directory was, and had no idea what `?' would do for me anyway.

I think the question should just say "(don't prepend `/mnt')", or else if the user does type it, the code shouldn't prepend it again.
