if I had multiple computers and moved around installations between then I think I would want to use the computers name, not a long 16 hex number... or if I had lots of computers, I would give them numbers like 1, 2, 3 ... etc
dump hostname into a different field then?
or is space for fields in the EFI nightmare limited?
justinX: haven't thought of that because my focus is "single computer with single human user" (so I'm agains "the kits"), but that's a very smart idea and should be easy to do (just get it from /etc/hostname?)
yeah
oldlaptop: no issue with EFI, just that the full path (I currently use "/EFI/linux-{version}/initrd.gz") has to be valid in FAT32
and yeah my focus is on "single computer with single human user" too hehe :-D
who says that has to be the only supported usecase?
if it's trivial to make everyone happy, why not?
I would certianly NOT want an unique identification id on my computer that could been snooped by some software anyway.
