       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>

+          <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.

This is useful for systems that, for example, should network boot first before falling back to a local boot.

+        <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.
