14.0 Booting and Configuring a Linux System

Booting a Linux system involves various different components. The hardware itself is initialized by the BIOS, which starts the kernel by means of a boot loader. After this point, the boot process with init and the runlevels is completely controlled by the operating system. The runlevel concept enables you to maintain setups for everyday usage as well as to perform maintenance tasks on the system.
