Yea, the more I think about it the worse it sounds.

That is odd, I would think grub (if using os-prober) would write out anything it finds. Maybe because of the way grubDr works the system that is running it gets overlooked.

I like that idea although I have never been much on labels in the past. Maybe instead of hostname use lsb_release or even something from -etc-*version or even something from grub or os-prober.
