Note: the trick to first confuse the anaconda installer does NOT work by
entering "linux some_nonsense_string"! It requires to enter something
pointless like "garbarge" or "foobar" WITHOUT calling the kernel called
"linux". If you enter "linux foobar" you will start the install kernel
(its name is linux) and pass it the parameter "foobar", which then is
simply ignored.
