Kip,

That is not for you. I did not do it because of you, but 
because, if the FAQ is wrong (and that should not be 
considered a very weak possibility cause the software 
is going a lot of changes, and may be you remember
a problem with the a feature of 3.0 that is in the 
documentation for 2.0), the FAQ should be corrected.

The phrase used in the FAQ is NOT clear to me. "The 
domain 0 kernel command line in Grub" is not clear
to me. And that is why I suggested an example, in 
order to clarify the matters. May other people just
misunderstand that line, and I would not like that
happening.

If I was rude to you, I apologize, that was not and is
not what I mean. And will never be.
