25
26forcemods="mod1 mod2"
27 Add those modules to the list of modules to load systematically

34
35nompath

37
38noresize
39 Do not resize partitions using a multiplication factor of (New disk size)/(Old disk size) to use your unallocated hard disk space
40
41textonly
42 do not call any Newt library routines; this is unattractive but valuable if you find your Newt library has bugs in it or on ia64
43
[2123]44usb=/dev/xxx
[2146]45 Use that USB device name as the place to look for backup content. The way drivers are loaded may lead that to the fact you have a different device name at restore time, compared to the one you used at backup time, making mondorestore unable to use the right device natively. This helper corrects that. Pass to it the device name, not the partition name. Example: usb=/dev/sdb
