Hi all, I just have a small query. I am actually not sure whether this is the correct place to ask or not. My query is : What is the actual use of Real-Mode of the Intel processors with regard to current operating systems? I read that it is only used for bootstrapping. Can someone throw some light on this?? TIA Regards Ketan -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
