The problem has little to do with running other systems. Even on the same fedora install, the device names are not guaranteed to remain constant.

For the installer, uuid is better, since the labels it writes are not really all that unique (LABEL=/ comes up a lot :). -- Todd OpenPGP -> KeyID: 0xBEAF0CE3 | URL: www.pobox.com/~tmz/pgp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Every absurdity has a champion who will defend it.
