Thanks for the tip, this sounds like a good idea especially since I don't expect the label to change that much ^^ Can I rerun e2label on a mounted partition? The man page isn't that informative. I suspect that running update-grub isn't mandatory, I can always update menu.lst by hand right? Regards, Aniruddha -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
