Locate the default command line and change it to your liking. However, make sure you preserve the exact length and don't change anything else, after all you are editing a binary! Asking an end user to binary-edit a kernel is mindless, from my point of view. -- System Information Debian Release: 3.0 Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux genarin 2.4.26 #1 Thu Apr 15 17:45:21 CEST 2004 i686 Locale: LANG=es_ES, LC_CTYPE=en_US -- Jesus Climent info:www.pumuki.org Unix SysAdm|Linux User #66350|Debian Developer|2.4.27|Helsinki Finland GPG: 1024D/86946D69 BB64 2339 1CAA 7064 E429 7E18 66FC 1D7F 8694 6D69 It's sex!
