It does, by default.  So unless you went in and modified things, you've
got them.  They're, generally, a good thing, but you get problems if you
try to add another OS (whether by another drive, or more partitions on
one drive) if the labels are not unique.

This install of F7 was done on a second drive, where the first drive had
CentOS with a GRUB bootloader.  When I installed F7 I opted to not mess
up the original bootloader, and it did what I told it.  Can you remember
exactly what choices you took around that part of configuring the
installation?  I think I went for fooling around with putting everything
in my new boot partition.

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.
