Hi,

Maybe everything would be a lot smoother in the future if we started
using UUID instead of LABEL for installs? Or at least picked some more
sensible labels such as "F7-/", "F7-/boot", "F7t3-/" etc. Maybe even
lurk in a "short UUID" there (ext3 fs labels are limited to 32 bytes
IIRC): for example "F7-1234abcd-/".

Anyway; right now it's some what a mess having more than one Fedora
install on your drives and, from my personal experience, this have
discouraged me from doing such things. 

Situation today also breaks horrible when you attach disks more installs
on _other_ computers (very possibly, you now have two file systems both
with label "/").
