Yeah, I'm not a big fan of UUIDs either so I tend to use labels instead.
I always partition and format using command-line tools in the Rescue
System. If you do that, you can add the labels yourself. For example:
# mkfs.ext4 -m 1 -L mgaroot /dev/sda1
# mkswap -L swap /dev/sda2
# mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -L home /dev/sda3
The -m parameters above specifies the percentage reserved for the superuser.
the -L parameters are the filesystem labels. After that, reboot to the
installer
and choose Custom Partitioning, assign your pre-existing partitions and be
sure _untick_ the [ ] Format boxes then continue installing as usual.
After the installation, you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst replacing each
UUID=<blahblahblah> with LABEL=<label>. For example:
root=LABEL=mgaroot (and) resume=LABEL=swap
Similarly in /etc/fstab, you can have entries like:
LABEL=mgaroot / ext4 relatime 1 1
LABEL=swap swap swap defaults 0 0
So the 'nickname' feature you request is available with a little pre-install
preparation and post-install config file editing.
Hope this helps -- RJ
