Hi Doug, The LABEL is referring to a filesystem label introduced some time ago. Essentially it allows you to label a disk parition. This is useful because once labeled you don't need to refer to the partition by diskname[part#] (ie. hda5). That way if you add more disks and the device names switch it won't screw you up. man e2label HTH, Harry Quoting Douglas Phillipson <dougp@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>: *> When compiling a stock kernel from kernel.org (on RH9), the process puts *> root=LABEL=/ in my /boot/grub/menu.lst file.
