What piece of metadata defines a distribution..even an unnamed distribution? If i have 15 partitions, only the ntfs partition has a boot label, how does the installer determine which of the other 4 partitions are the /boot or / of a linux distribution?
I think that the idea is to get together with the other distributions and define such a piece of metadata. Not everyone may cooperate, but those that do will get a named entry.
