    sessions are limited to maximum size of 16GB. You can increase the limit
-   with this parameter, use for example perchsize=32000 for 32GB.
+   with this parameter, use just once. For example perchsize=32GB
 
- * from=[file/path/device] is used to set a directory or even device from
-   which is Slax started. For example, from=/slax, from=/dev/sr1/slaxdata
