I don't know. I don't recall those being in the grub kernel line.

Perhaps, but I'd rather clone than install. It's faster and more consistent, when it works. For example, I recently installed Edubuntu on a relatively slow machine, which took over an hour. Cloning took under 5 minutes. Of course, if cloning is then followed by 2 hours of hassle, then installing looks good.
