+</I>&gt;<i> Yeah, I'm not a big fan of UUIDs either so I tend to use labels
+</I>&gt;<i> instead. I always partition and format using command-line tools in
+</I>&gt;<i> the Rescue System. If you do that, you can add the labels yourself.
+</I>&gt;<i> For example:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> # mkfs.ext4 -m 1 -L mgaroot /dev/sda1 # mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2 #
+</I>&gt;<i> mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -L home /dev/sda3
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> The -m parameters above specifies the percentage reserved for the
+</I>&gt;<i> superuser. the -L parameters are the filesystem labels. After that,
+</I>&gt;<i> reboot to the installer and choose Custom Partitioning, assign your
+</I>&gt;<i> pre-existing partitions and be sure _untick_ the [ ] Format boxes
+</I>&gt;<i> then continue installing as usual.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> After the installation, you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst replacing
+</I>&gt;<i> each UUID=&lt;blahblahblah&gt; with LABEL=&lt;label&gt;. For example:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> root=LABEL=mgaroot (and) resume=LABEL=swap
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Similarly in /etc/fstab, you can have entries like:
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> LABEL=mgaroot / ext4 relatime 1 1 LABEL=swap swap swap
+</I>&gt;<i> defaults 0 0
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> So the 'nickname' feature you request is available with a little
+</I>&gt;<i> pre-install preparation and post-install config file editing.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Hope this helps -- RJ
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>Thanks. It will help a lot for my own use. However, that really
+needs to be included in the gui disk partitioning, so that people can
+find and use it. I'm fairly sure there is no way to do that at present.
