+== Tweaks for the boot commandline ==
+
+To boot with default values just press ENTER.
+
+=== Desktop Environment ===
+
+0|1|2|3|4|5|6|S|s|single => Select a runlevel to start with.
+ The default is 4 for graphical login.
+
+kbd=fr xkb=ch,fr => Example of custom X keyboard layout.
+
+livepw="somestring" => Change the password for user "live".
+
+locale=nl_NL kbd=nl tz=Europe/Amsterdam => Example of language,
+ keyboard and/or timezone customization.
+
+rootpw="somestring" => Change the password for user "root".
+
+=== Custom software ===
+
+load=nvidia => Load and configure Nvidia drivers if available
+ in the ISO.
+
+load=mod1[,mod2[...]] => Load one or more squashfs modules
+ from the directory: "/liveslack/optional".
+ By default none of these modules is loaded on boot.
+
+noload=mod1[,mod2[...]] => Prevent loading of one or more
+ squashfs modules from the directory "/liveslack/addons".
+ By default all these modules are loaded on boot.
+
+=== Hardware related ===
+
+nomodeset => Boot without kernel mode setting, needed with
+ some machines.
+
+rootdelay=10 => Add 10 second delay to give the kernel more
+ time to initialize USB. Try this if booting fails.
+
+swap => Allow the Live OS to activate all swap partitions on
+ on the local hardware. By default, none is touched.
+
+=== Media tweaks ===
+
+livemedia=/dev/sdX => Tell the init script which partition
+ contains the Slackware Live OS you want to boot. This can
+ become necessary if you have another copy of Slackware Live
+ installed in another partition.
+
+livemain=directoryname => Use this if you copied the content
+ of the ISO to a different directory than "liveslak".
+
+nop => No persistence, i.e. boot the virgin installation in
+ case your "persistence" directory got corrupted.
+
+persistence=directoryname => Use this if you want to use
+ a different directory than "persistence" for storing
+ persistent data.
+
+=== Troubleshooting ===
+
+debug => During init, pause at specifiuc locations while as-
+ sembling the overlay filesystem and show mount information.
+
+rescue => After initialization, you will be dropped in a
+ rescue shell to perform lowlevel maintenance.
