kernel lines with strings like root=/dev/disk/by-label/ata-ST3320620AS_6QF3PJXC-part10 in menu.lst shorter, maybe shorter enough to fit on one line instead of wrapping.
Just use an editor that does not wrap. What are you using?
FWIW, which is irrelevant here, most of my editing is in mcedit. Whether an editor can or does wrap misses the point. I cannot mentally deal with fstab or menu.lst lines that cannot be seen in their entirety all at once on a single line. /dev/disk/by-id & /dev/disk/by-uuid lines create the problem that I cannot do that. It less frequently occurs when using the shorter /dev/disk/by-label method, and rarely occurs using device names or the currently broken old LABEL= method. -- " We have no government armed with power capable of contending with human passions unbridled by morality and religion."
