What is this supposed to mean? Are you referring to the spinning character that is visible right before the kernel boots? > + <literal>Fixit</literal> menu.

The <command> tags are more fit imho for marking up command names that have to be seen as part of a sentence instead of literal terminal output. My suggestion for this part would something like: <screen>&prompt.root; <userinput>echo -P > /boot.config</userinput></screen> Giorgos.
