Hi Michael,

I want to correct a simple FIXME in bootparam.7 :

The use of quotes on this page is inconsistent
with the rest of man-pages.

What do you mean exactly by inconsistent ? Have you some examples of good use of quote please ?

Cheers,

It's been long enough now since I added this FIXME that I no longer recall the details. I just went back and looked at the page. I'm no longer conversed there's any serious problem. I'll remove that FIXME.

Thanks,

Michael
