[I'm not sure if this is the right place for this kind of question; if not, sorry about that.] Until FC5, I'm used to seeing no blank space character in installation CD & DVD media's volume labels. Is there any specific reason why FC6 changed its course? This one Windows idiom (as a Linux & Windows sys admin) of having blank space character (in file name, directory name, user name, group name, volume name etc.) is the most painful thing to deal with when scripting & other work flow techniques are concerned. So the question is, why not keep it simple with the use of _ or - like characters for CD/DVD labels? I'm sure there'll be clever ways of handling blank space characters, but why bother with cleverness, when simple things (KISS philosophy of unix for example) are admirable/appreciable for their simplicity. Eg, bash's for loop is word driven; so are many other tools like xargs, awk etc. After trying to find one common idiom for all these tools all these long years, I can honestly say, sticking to unix idiom of no space character in a word is the easiest solution of all. I'm sorry if I haven't communicated it clearly; this is such an unbelievably simple thing, I cannot explain it with words :-(. Thanks for reading this far. PS: I sincerely hope Linux doesn't get corrupted by poor Windows idioms. It takes the fun out of Linux :-(. ____________________________________________________ On Yahoo!7 Break a world record with Total Girl's Worldʼs Largest Slumber Party http://www.totalgirl.com.au/slumberparty -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
