That's the bit I didn't know - very useful!



I remember "discovering" this for myself the first time I installed FedoraCore onto a second partition on a system that also had Redhat9 on on the first partition..

Both of them use "root=LABEL=/", and both of them used "/" as the label for their root partitions.. so on reboot, grub loaded the Fedora kernels for me, but then tried to use the Redhat9 root partition.. duh!

I notice that FedoraCore3 seems to no longer be quite so dumb about it.

Cheers
