its like every other install the "1" gets appended....anyone come across this... if show how can i change it....i know its not like it makes a difference but I just noticed wondering why this happens.
there would have already been a label=/ on one of the drives when you did the install.. the installer will append a '1' to prevent breaking any other config's you might have already had ( specially if the machine is dual / tripple booting ).
I have seen this behavior when reusing already created partitions and doing an install on top of those. The a new label is used, as you are not erasing the partitions.
How I work around this (on partitions I can afford to lose) is to double click on the partition in the installer, remove it, and add it back. Since it is recreating the partition, it uses the correct label. This also erases your partition, so only do it for ones you are going to reformat anyway :)
