Hello Peter,

my first post didn't get any attention, maybe it was too short.
Here's a longer version:

[ wrt. COMMAND_LINE_SIZE=256 in linux/include/asm-i386/setup.h and linux/include/asm-i386/param.h ]

I would like to push forward the idea to extend the command-line size...
[...]
Already pushed to Andrew. I will follow it up with a patch to extend the command line, at least to 512.

I would like to know the status of this. In linux-2.6.14-rc3 the COMMAND_LINE_SIZE is still 256 chars long.

Here's a patch to fix that to 1024.
