Label's cause problems if you have more than one install of Linux on teh system that uses labels to mount things. One such alternative is UUID mounting, where you will use the specific UUID of the drive/partition as it's refrence in fstab. It's a rather long and ugly number, but it is unique, so no matter where it shows up on the IDE/SCSI bus, it'll still work, and there is no duplicate problems like with Labels where you can label multiple partitions the same thing. -- Jesse Keating RHCE MCSE http://geek.j2solutions.net Mondo DevTeam (http://www.microwerks.net/~hugo/) Was I helpful?
