Cmdlines can get really long to get a net install going via Grub. The cmdline strings are in many cases lengthy, and can cause a need for cmdlines longer than the total supported length of 255 or whatever it may be. Is there a list of abbreviations for some of the long ones such as Mandriva & Mageia provide, e.g. hos for hostname or dns for nameserver? Why "textmode=1" and not just "text"? Why not nokms instead of nomodeset, or "noip6" instead of "ipv4only=1"? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
