Boot Device
What is the difference between boot image and kenel image?
In some literatures I have read jargon called 'boot device' what does it mean? Does it mean device where operating system resides? or Does it mean where boot loader resides??? For example, In embedded systems, bootloader (say uboot) resides on inbuilt flash where as kernel or application code resides on harddisk or other external memory... at that time what is meant by boot device? |
Your behavior is rude. You have not bothered to reply to most of your threads. You will not get much help here if you continue behaving this way.

Hi,
You seem to be presenting elementary questions alot. Most of your queries could be answered via <Linux> - Google Search or LQ Search with good search keys. 'How to Ask Questions the Smart Way' would be one link you should look at to help us to help you in the future. You really need to start doing some work on your part instead of querying on a whim without even attempting anything on your part. There's enough information on the web to fulfill your elementary questions. Not to say you shouldn't post but make some effort. If you don't understand something it's one thing but to just flippantly post is just not right. Loads of information for reference and guidance from; Linux Documentation Project Rute Tutorial & Exposition Linux Command Guide Utimate Linux Newbie Guide LinuxSelfHelp Getting Started with Linux Bash Reference Manual Advanced Bash-Scripting Guide Linux Home Networking Virtualiation- Top 10 :hattip: The above links and others can be found at 'Slackware-Links'. More than just SlackwareŽ links! |

@David,
I would suggest, you check OP's posting history before replying to his threads. |
Thanks David :)
@Chaitanya I really cant understand Why are you people pointing that too often even I understood my mistake and apologized for that??? Being new to linux environment, having got right answer by you people I feel asured due to lack of confidence and knowledge and that led me to browse more... That doesnt mean that by not telling thanks or go it I am being rude or anything like that. Seniors should not supervise juniors... and MUST not compell them to say "Thanks" and "Sorries"... There should be enough space and freedom... without that its rather difficult to spread the wings and fly in the horizon of knowledge. |

Seeing your previous posts, it seems more like you want us to spread your wings and beat them for you to save you the effort. Next time you post, instead of saying something like "tell me what is FooFile", you should say "I found in google a definition for FooFile which if I understood correctly is (blah blah blah), can somebody confirm or correct this?" |

My advice to you is that if you are not going to answer the post or point out a violation of the forum rules, do not post. Zero information posts are the only real problem that this site has. |
