Until FC5, I'm used to seeing no blank space character in installation CD & DVD
media's volume labels. Is there any specific reason why FC6 changed its course?
PS: I sincerely hope Linux doesn't get corrupted by poor Windows idioms. It takes the
fun out of Linux :-(.
OS X does the exact same thing (mounting the volumes under /Volumes
instead) - they even show an audio CD as a directory of AIFF audio
files, complete with CDDB-looked-up file names (containing spaces!).
Not sure if Solaris does the same.
So it's not just a Windows idiom. Personally, anything that looks
nicer *and* can catch broken-but-not-fatal assumptions is a good
thing.
Though it's a bit curious that there's not enough KDE users
beta-testing Fedora for the bug to be noticed before release?
