<para>
A <firstterm>boot option</firstterm> is used to modify the
installer's behavior using the boot command line. The following boot options have been
added in Fedora 21:
</para>
- <simplelist>
- <member><option>inst.zram=</option>: use this option to force
zRAM swap on (<option>inst.zram=on</option>) or off
(<option>inst.zram=off</option>)</member>
- <member><option>inst.dnf</option>: use the experimental
<application>DNF</application> backend for package installation instead of
<application>YUM</application></member>
- <member><option>inst.memcheck</option>: perform a check at the
beginning of the installation to determine if there is enough available RAM. If there is
not enough memory detected, the installation will stop with an error message. This option
is enabled by default; use <option>inst.memcheck=0</option> to disable
it</member>

+ <title>Changes in Anaconda Command Line Options</title>
+ <para>
+ <application>Anaconda</application> command line options are used when
running the installer from a terminal within an already installed system, as for example,
when installing into a disk image.
+ </para>
+ <itemizedlist>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ The built-in help available through the <command>anaconda
-h</command> command now provides descriptions for all available commands.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--memcheck</option>: Check if the system has sufficient RAM
to complete the installation and abort the installation if it does not. This check is
approximate. Memory usage during installation depends on the package selection, user
interface (graphical/text) and other parameters.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--nomemcheck</option>: Do not check if the system has
enough memory to complete the installation.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--leavebootorder</option>: Boot drives in their existing
order - used to override the default of booting into the newly installed drive on IBM
Power Systems servers and EFI systems. This is useful for systems that, for example,
should network boot first before falling back to a local boot.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--extlinux</option>: Use
<application>extlinux</application> as the boot loader. Note that there is no
attempt to check whether this will work for your platform, which means your system may be
unable to boot after completing the installation if you use this option.
+ </para>
+ </listitem>
+ <listitem>
+ <para>
+ <option>--dnf</option>: Use the experimental
<application>DNF</application> package management backend to replace the
default <application>YUM</application> package manager. See <ulink
url="http://dnf.baseurl.org" /> for more information about the DNF project.
