PATCH RESEND 1/1 update Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt
Hi,
This is just a little documentation update which applies to 2.6.18-rc4. The patch was first send on 27. July 2006 to the LKML but nobody picked it up, so here is the second chance. :-)
By the way: Does anybody know _why_ COMMAND_LINE_SIZE depends on the architecture? Wouldn't it make sense to generalize it for all platforms to e.g. 2048 characters?
Kind regards, Jens
