One command man: e2label /dev/hd# <new label> I understand your problem, had a similar one in fact when installed FC5 on to of WinXP but wanted to keep the old FC4 partition for data storage. It showed as '/' while the original root showed as /1. e2label will fix this for you! But remember to edit /boot/grub/grub.conf and change the kernel arguments as well! :-) Filippos <div>On 5/5/06, Mauriat Miranda <<a href="mailto:mirandam@gmail.com">mirandam@gmail.com</a>> wrote:<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;"> On 5/5/06, Les Mikesell <<a href="mailto:lesmikesell@gmail.com">lesmikesell@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > > I question if this necessary.

So you boot with a LiveCD or some Rescue disk/media and fix it - use the device ID or relabel it. Isn't that the way to fix it? I don't understand the problem. Your assumed scenario is too vague. -Mauriat -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com">fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list </a> </blockquote></div>
