This is a great feature. It definitely shines in circumstances like Jim's.
Provided that partitions are already labeled... that's the catch.
I wish I had more time to devote to this. As it stands, I may have to ask you to 'fill in' for me, Carlos. I'm on a deadline and Jim's setup needs some reasonable attention to detail. ;-)
Not the label way this time for him, I'm afraid... too many things to change for a novice. Risky. The easiest way is, when formatting a partition using yast, give it a name (label) ant tell it to mount it using labels - it's somewhere in the options panel at the right. Yast does it all. Doing it manually, after the partition is in use, well... there isn't a unified label program, for starters: each partition type has it's own method. Then some partitions are no lableable (hugh! - spell?), like swaps. And I'm unsure that "/" can be used this way. Finally, grub is not aware of them, AFAIK. But it certainly does life easier, specially for people like me with dozens of partitions ;-) - -- Cheers, Carlos Robinson -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Made with pgp4pine 1.76 iD8DBQFEfag1tTMYHG2NR9URAv9mAJ4hYXZZ3Ke/n1P282QSTYzqX3nWsACgk6Ot rNjhqlX7UjRCCS1/ZQQL6OQ= =zAzG -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
