I checked out the anaconda source and, in the docs directory is a file
"command-line.txt" which lists all the anaconda command line options with a
short description. However, there is no mention in there of the filesystem
options to which I refer above. I can only conclude that I'm looking in the
wrong place and that these are indeed a kernel options

I'm grabbing the tettnang DVD ISO from bittorrent as I type so I'll burn
myself a DVD and experiment.
