	Hmmm... I *think* I see what "kernel command line" means ...

On one machine, I have this : 

[root at localhost ~]# cat /etc/grub.conf
# grub.conf generated by anaconda
#
# Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this 
#file
# NOTICE:  You have a /boot partition.  This means that
#          all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg.
#          root (hd0,0)
#          kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00
#          initrd /initrd-version.img
#boot=/dev/sda
default=0
timeout=5
splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz
hiddenmenu
title Fedora (2.6.22.5-76.fc7)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.5-76.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 
rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.22.5-76.fc7.img
title Fedora (2.6.22.4-65.fc7)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.22.4-65.fc7 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 
rhgb quiet
        initrd /initrd-2.6.22.4-65.fc7.img
[root at localhost ~]#

	So, iiuc, you're saying to leave a space after 'quiet' both 
times, and then add "selinux=0" after that space? Right?
