f8t1 LiveCD " resolution=..." kernel parameter

[Nelson Strother]

  The f8t1 LiveCD responds to an attempt to use the kernel parameter
resolution=1600x1200 (via using the [TAB] key on the initial boot choice screen
to edit the "Run from image" entry to add this parameter to the end of
the:

  vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img  ro quiet
root=CDLABEL=Fedora-8-Test-1-Live-i686 rootfstype=iso9660 liveimg

line) by echoing this parameter on a kernel line in

  /var/log/messages

and never complaining about it with an error message, but it is
ineffective (there is no difference in behavior with or without it).

  http://docs.fedoraproject.org/install-guide/f7/en_US/ap-admin-options.html

does mention the use of this parameter, but I find the current vintage
of the kernel-doc package to remain silent on the topic of such a
parameter.  Do you find this parameter to be effective when you use
a plausible value for your hardware?

Cheers,
Nelson
