? http://www.linuxgazette.com/issue70/ghosh.html — A Linux Gazette article on "Bootstrapping Linux," which includes much detail on the BIOS and MBR aspects of the boot process.

? http://www.lostcircuits.com/advice/bios2/1.shtml — the LostCircuits BIOS guide; much detail on the meaning of all those BIOS settings.

? http://www.rojakpot.com/default.aspx?location=1 — The BIOS Optimization Guide; details on tweaking those BIOS settings to your heart's content.

? http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-slack.html — A link through IBM's website to an article on booting Slackware Linux, along with a sidebar about the history of System V versus BSD init scripts.

? /usr/src/linux/init/main.c — This file in the Linux source code is the best place to learn about how Linux boots. Fascinating reading, really. Get it from the source!

? http://sunsite.dk/linux-newbie/ — Home page for the Linux Newbie Administrator Guide — a gentle introduction to Linux System Administration.

? http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/ — The still yet-to-be-completed GRUB Manual. On your Fedora system, info grub provides a plethora of information, and a sample grub.conf file (/boot/grub/menu.lst is a symbolic link to /boot/grub/grub.conf; use either name) can be found in /usr/doc/grub.

? LILO User's Guide — Werner Almesberger's definitive technical tome on the LInux LOader, or LILO, and how it works on Intel-based PCs. Look under the /usr/share/doc/lilo*/doc directory for the file User_Guide.ps, which can be viewed with the gv client. LILO has been dropped from Fedora; GRUB is now the default boot loader supported in the distribution.

? "Managing Initscripts with Red Hat's chkconfig" — by Jimmy Ball, Linux Journal, April 2001; pp. 128-132.

? "Grub, Glorious Grub" — Hoyt Duff, Linux Format, August 2001; pp. 58-61. A tutorial on the GRUB boot loader.
