This is a great feature. It definitely shines in circumstances like Jim's.

Provided that partitions are already labeled... that's the catch.

I
wish I had more time to devote to this. As it stands, I may have to ask you
to 'fill in' for me, Carlos. I'm on a deadline and Jim's setup needs some
reasonable attention to detail. ;-)

Not the label way this time for him, I'm afraid... too many things to
change for a novice. Risky.

The easiest way is, when formatting a partition using yast, give it a name
(label) ant tell it to mount it using labels - it's somewhere in the
options panel at the right. Yast does it all.

Doing it manually, after the partition is in use, well... there isn't a
unified label program, for starters: each partition type has it's own
method.

Then some partitions are no lableable (hugh! - spell?), like swaps. And
I'm unsure that "/" can be used this way. Finally, grub is not aware of
them, AFAIK.

But it certainly does life easier, specially for people like me with
dozens of partitions ;-)
