OK so you recall the Experts talking about the SD things being
changed at the whim of something. I will then send my Bug which will
explain what I am seeing and why it is so bad if your trying to
trouble-shoot a grub.conf. But I do see why you MUST use LABEL on F7.
I am 72 years old and like Linux, and have used it for over 10
years. I like F7 but it may not matter because after I make a bunch of
label's I may loose touch with what I have. It also says I will not be
happy with more than one hard drive.
Thank you for verification of my experience.
