OK, tell me more...if, on my test system I set up several small boot
partitions and label them with the distro I am testing and make sure
each name is unique, where would a global conflict occur? Aren't the
names used in context? If this were a mumps (M) system, I can see where
you would have to be very careful, but, thank heavens, its linux.
