If yes, > how can the user then alter the boot params in the boot menu? You're welcome. You can edit "/boot/grub2/grub.cfg" but it'll be overwritten the next time that grub2-mkconfig runs (for example when a new kernel's installed). The boot params can be changed through "/boot/default/grub". This is a default location for changing settings in Debian and Ubuntu so I'd expect Fedora to move it to /etc/sysconfig once/if grub2's fully fleshed out. The variables are GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX AND GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT (the former is to set boot params for both the "regular" entry and "recovery" entry). -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines
