Hi all, while studing the linux boot procedure, i read that "it is good to seperate decompression from bootstrap of linux kernel." i am confused with this statement. if we are using boot-loader for transfering the control to starting location of kernel in ram why can't we add the decompression routine or job to boot-loader itself. why kernel does that ? plz explain also how kernel does the decompression of z or bzImage ( any links on same plz) Thanks and regards, Deepak Joshi. ___________________________________________________________ NEW Yahoo!
