These are CDlinux' kernel command line parameters. They are all OPTIONAL. In most cases, you can safely ignore them and use the default values.
CDL_AMOUNT
CDlinux can auto detect/mount your disks/partitions (coldplug & hotplug). This feature is enabled in CDlinux standard edition. But for safty, it is disabled in CDlinux_mini by default. For example, if you are running CDlinux_mini to rescue your disk/partition, you surely don't want this feature. But, if you do want it, you can use this parameter.
default: yes for CDlinux standard
no for CDlinux_mini
example:
CDL_AMOUNT=yes # auto detect and mount
CDL_AMOUNT=no # don't mount, detect only
CDL_CMD
Things to run before extra packages/modules are installed. Unless you want to run something in the very early init stage, don't use this. In most case you can use the rc.local script instead.
default: no default
example:
# let your first md be /dev/md1 instead of /dev/md0:
CDL_CMD="mdadm -Ac partitions -m 0 /dev/md1"
# you can also specify multiple commands:
CDL_CMD="echo 'Hi!'; echo 'Hi!' | sed 's/!/ again!/'"
CDL_DEV
On which device is CDlinux located?
default: /dev/sr0
example:
CDL_DEV=/dev/hda1
CDL_DEV=UUID=42656e5a-1971-0825-0001-d5d4d1b1bae9
CDL_DEV=LABEL=YourDiskLabel
CDL_DEV=LABEL="Your Disk Label"
CDL_DIR
In which directory (of the CDL_DEV file system) is CDlinux located?
default: boot/CDlinux, CDlinux
example:
CDL_DIR=Some/Dir/CDlinux
CDL_DIR="Some Dir/CDlinux" # your boot loader should
# support this though
CDL_GUI
Should CDlinux start Graphical User Interface (X Window) automatically?
default: yes, if X installed and RAM >128M
example:
CDL_GUI=yes
CDL_GUI=no
CDL_LANG
System language/locale.
default: en_US.UTF-8
example:
CDL_LANG=zh_CN.UTF-8
CDL_LOOP
Should CDlinux install all modules in “loop” mode to save RAM?
default: determined dynamically.
If you have enough RAM, run in the memory.
If no enough RAM, fallback to "loop" mode.
example:
CDL_LOOP=yes
CDL_LOOP=no
CDL_WAIT
How many seconds should CDlinux wait for storage devices to get ready?
default: 8 seconds, if needed.
example:
CDL_WAIT=16
