knoppix has a plethora of cheat codes that let you pass instructions
to the kernel and control the boot process which are very helpful in
order to, for example, change/set up a user home directory to a
mounted USB micro or pen drive, so that all configurations are
automatically saved and reloaded

Do you think _FLR's declaration would include any possible dmesg error

Well, I guess you could always look up dmesg source code, but I don't
know if it would just print out hardware errors as reported by
interfaces themselves.
