Hi all, I read in one article related to booting of linux kernel that "uClinux startup code will have to do all hardware setup and it will have to load the kernel data segment in RAM and clear the bss segment". In the above statement i am not getting the use of "clearing the bss segment". Can anybody plz help me in that. Thanks in advance, Deepak Joshi. ___________________________________________________________ Win a BlackBerry device from O2 with Yahoo!.
