Early-boot splash help screens

February 21, 2012 — BarryK
If booting Wary/Racy 5.2.2.7 from CD, you will see that the <F2> help splash screen now has this entry:

plang=<xxxx> Locale -- not normally required as asked after bootup.

To override the default locale (usually en_US).

Now, I have added this into the <F3> Advanced help splash screen:

underdog=sda9 Mount an entire Linux distro (in sda9) underneath Puppy.

This is the "underdog" feature, that has made a return to Puppy:
