:-) I thought, too, (of course *after* I had pressed "SEND") that I should have switched those two sentences around. I do not mean to imply that you have to zap all your data to use labels. That would really drive people away from Gentoo, wouldn't it? (I'll be right there, honey, I just have to reformat my boot partition!) Please read these as two completely separate and independent examples, one for how to set them up in the first place and second, how to apply them.
