kernel-patch-powerpc: How can editing a binary kernel be suggested?
Package: kernel-patch-powerpc
Version: N/A; reported 2004-10-04
Severity: normal
How can this be suggested on an official packaged kernel?
* To change the built-in command line on a PReP system, run mkvmlinuz
and then open the vmlinuz file with a binary editor (emacs is fine).
Locate the default command line and change it to your liking.
However, make sure you preserve the exact length and don't change
anything else, after all you are editing a binary!
Asking an end user to binary-edit a kernel is mindless, from my point of view.
