== Tweaks for the boot commandline == To boot with default values just press ENTER. === Media tweaks === cfg=[skip|write] => Specify 'skip' to skip disk-based configuration file containing OS parameters; or specify 'write' to write current OS parameters to disk. domain=your_custom_domain => Specify a custom domain name. Defaults to 'example.net'. hostname=your_custom_hostname[,qualifier] => Specify a custom hostname. A qualifier 'fixed' can be appended to prohibit hostname modification in case of network boot. livemedia=/dev/sdX => Tell the init script which partition contains the Slackware Live OS you want to boot. This can become necessary if you have another copy of Slackware Live installed in another partition. Also accepted: UUID or LABEL. livemedia=/dev/sdX:/path/to/live.iso livemedia=scandev:/path/to/live.iso => Use this if you want to load the live OS from an ISO file on a local harddisk partition. livemain=directoryname => Use this if you copied the content of the ISO to a different directory than "liveslak". nop => No persistence, i.e. boot the virgin installation in case your "persistence" directory got corrupted. If you want to ignore any persistent data during boot, including LUKS data, specify "nop luksvol=" . nop=wipe => Wipe all data from persistence directory or container. Useful in cases where your persistent data got corrupted. persistence=name => Use this if you are using a different directory/file than "persistence" for storing persistent data. persistence=/dev/sdX:/path/to/mypersistence persistence=scandev:/path/to/mypersistence => Use this if the persistence directory or container is not located on the USB stick, but on a local hard disk partition. Useful for network (PXE) boot where you still want to offer users persistence. toram => copy the OS from the media to to RAM before running it. You can remove the boot media after booting. toram=all => Prevent writes to disk since we are supposed to run from RAM; equivalent to parameter "toram". toram=core => Load Console OS modules into RAM. Console-only Slackware loads fast, contains 'setup2hd' and frees up your USB drive so you can overwrite it with a Persistent Live OS. toram=os => Load OS modules into RAM, but write persistent data to USB. == [F1]: Home [F2]: Desktop setup [F4]: HW/debug [F5]: Network boot ==
