</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> While I appreciate the intention, from a user PoV, those
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> UUIDs mean b***** all.  It would be really nice if, when
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> they are first named, it was possible to allocate a
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> &quot;nickname&quot; for want of a better term.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> if you use it, filesystems also have label functionalities,
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> which iinm are shown in dolphin.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Yeah, I'm not a big fan of UUIDs either so I tend to use
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> labels instead. I always partition and format using
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> command-line tools in the Rescue System. If you do that, you
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> can add the labels yourself. For example:
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> # mkfs.ext4 -m 1 -L mgaroot /dev/sda1 # mkswap -L swap
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> /dev/sda2 # mkfs.ext4 -m 0 -L home /dev/sda3
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> The -m parameters above specifies the percentage reserved for
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> the superuser. the -L parameters are the filesystem labels.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> After that, reboot to the installer and choose Custom
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Partitioning, assign your pre-existing partitions and be sure
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> _untick_ the [ ] Format boxes then continue installing as
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> usual.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> After the installation, you can edit /boot/grub/menu.lst
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> replacing each UUID=&lt;blahblahblah&gt; with LABEL=&lt;label&gt;. For
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> example:
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> root=LABEL=mgaroot (and) resume=LABEL=swap
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Similarly in /etc/fstab, you can have entries like:
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> LABEL=mgaroot  /     ext4  relatime  1 1 LABEL=swap     swap
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> swap defaults  0 0
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> So the 'nickname' feature you request is available with a
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> little pre-install preparation and post-install config file
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> editing.
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> Hope this helps -- RJ
</I>&gt;&gt;&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Thanks.  It will help a lot for my own use.  However, that really 
</I>&gt;<i> needs to be included in the gui disk partitioning, so that people
</I>&gt;<i> can find and use it.  I'm fairly sure there is no way to do that at
</I>&gt;<i> present.
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> Anne
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> hum.. when in disk-patitioning on mcc if you toggle to expert mode 
</I>&gt;<i> therre is a &quot;label&quot; menu (have not tested it though, so don't know
</I>&gt;<i> if it goes up to writing the right stanza in fstab).
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>&gt;<i> 
</I>Really?  I do normally enable Expert mode, and I've never noticed
that!  Next time I do an install I'll definitely look for it.
