Need a full description of the install boot process live-cd

Post by bartonlp »

I have been looking for a full description of the boot process. Not a howto but a walk through of the install boot process from "insert dvd" through each step along the way to the live system. I want to know how each step works. Is there such a document? I looked at the "how to's" here and didn't find anything.

If you know where I can find such a document please email me
Thanks

I'm assuming you don't want to know "turn pc on, insert dvd, wait for Linux to load", but want to know technically how it works? See this article, especially the external links at the end should prove helpful: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_CD
