Description Pete Travis 2012-03-27 01:29:01 UTC
Description of problem:
/usr/share/doc/anaconda-17.13/command-line.txt references https://fedoraproject.org/w/index.php?title=Anaconda_Boot_Options&amp;action=raw - a page on the fedora wiki that nicely describes a large list of options that can be passed to anaconda. 

This page, in turn, directs the reader to the Fedora Installation guide for more information.

In writing the Installation Guide, the Fedora Docs team uses both the Fedora wiki and the packaged upstream documentation. 

The wiki page is a bit stale, and packaged documentation is empty.  The reversal of the flow of information makes the process especially difficult.  I've been tracking changes in these options recently - I know askmethod has gone away, for example - but the best results would come from more comprehensive notes from upstream.

This came from a stale browser window that should have been closed, but ended up getting submitted in a clicking spasm. Please disregard.
