Additions:
Boot parameters (also known as Cheat Codes) are used to affect the boot process of Wolvix. They can disable hardware detection, start Wolvix from hard disk, skip the login manager, load the system to RAM, etc.
- Disable acpi support. This could fix booting on some broken machines which don't even boot Wolvix and hang immediately after loading vmlinuz.
- Disable almost all hardware autodetection in the case of hangups. Your hardware won't be detected at all; you'll have to use the "pcimodules" command after logging into Wolvix and try to modprobe all needed modules from the list manually.
- Don't mount any hard disks at all.
- Don't search for the Wolvix CD; try only USB and other devices.
- Mute sound instead of raising the volume to 77%.
- Do not run the Xorg auto-configuration script. (Wolvix 1.1.0)
- Do not update the desktop database on boot. (Wolvix 1.1.0)
- Copy all files (all required and optional modules) to RAM. You'll need at least 384MB (Wolvix Cub) or 640MB (Wolvix Hunter) of RAM. This will slow down the boot phase but speed up Wolvix!
- Specify how much RAM (in percent or megabytes) is used to store changes. (Defaults to ramsize=60%.)
- Enable floppy automounting during startup. This option also causes settings saved by the "configsave" command to be restored from the floppy diskette, too.
- Load optional modules from /optional/ directory on the CD. You can use the full module name (module.mo), or you can skip the extension.
- Disable loading specified Wolvix modules (even those from /base/ and /modules).
- All changes you made in Wolvix are kept in memory until you reboot. But with this boot parameter, you tell Wolvix to use a different device than memory for storing changes. You can, for example, format your disk partition /dev/hda1 with some Linux filesystem (eg. ext2) and then use changes=/dev/hda1 to store all changes to that disk. This way you won't lose your changes after reboot. (See StoreChanges for more details)
- Skip Wolvix login prompt and automatically start the X-Window system.
- Ask which VGA module to use instead of the default.
- Use one of the following VGA modes instead of the default:
- Enable debug mode; hit Ctrl+D to continue booting.
