Well, I really didn't think I was going to get flamed just for asking
someone to echo the kernel arguments back to me.
It does seem dangerous to install a new package which might make the
computer unusable unless further actions are taken. Perhaps instead of
asking "are you ready to do this", you should ask "has one of these things
been done already?", or, the startup script could detect the kernel
configuration and Do The Right Thing.
