          You can name partitions in Linux IIRC. The reason was to make the mount table disk independent so that you could swap disk position (hda2 instead of hda1) and it would still mount correctly. -- You still have your old friend Zoidberg. You all have Zoidberg!

                                      I tend to name mine after periodic table elements. At home: C: - Boron At work, it depends. If a machine is DriveImage'd, I always make the C: drive something "known", like OpSys, so it an be scripted easier. Otherwise, though, I stick with the chemical theme... I have (or have had) Hydrogen, Helium, Neon, Sodium, Potassium, Lithium, etc. :-D If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.

                                          Well, then I'd suddenly hit a brick wall. While 'C' could be carbon, what would 'D' be? There is no element 'D'. :-D If your nose runs and your feet smell, then you're built upside down.
