Assuming your using Fedora Workstation, which unlike other spins, doesn't present the list of kernels to boot. You'd just hit the "escape" key when booting. Then you'd see the list of kernels. Hit "e" to edit. Go to the linux line, add the parameters and then Ctrl-x to continue the boot. Those changes are temporary. If all works as you'd like, then you could make them permanent. -- The key to getting good answers is to ask good questions. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
