Your Amiga example is fine, asking for the second of a pair of production disks by name is helpful and the critisism of win2k not finding the CD in F: is valid. But all that has nothing to do creating rediculous pathnames which will inevitably not fit into any message box or space allowed for file name display. You will end up having to scroll around , resize everything and even then you will probably be missing the filename cos it got chopped off.
Well, I see no point of naming a mount point the label of the disk, when an installer can just look at the label when a disk is inserted for automatic detection anyways! So we are talking about how well an installer is written. Having these mount points do not improve the usability of the installer.
