That can be done so at any time later teh Setup shows only
Insert Disk with Label : X11
or something similar.

Thats ok. If I clone to another system I want to add any needed Addon
not some addon stored before (sure thats not real cloning...)
But with the file mentioned above where all LABELS can be stored...
OK you have nothing about the setup on that disk. OK point to U.
But that can also be stored?! Have to think about that... But possible!
And not really hard.

Hm, do we need some commands in the setup which are only available later?
Ciao.
