Before one can adequately understand the complex systems one has to have a
firm grasp of what happens in a minimum basic system.
Such a system would have to incorporate such items as memory management, a
text screen, a keyboards, and a storage devices such as a floppy. Additional
devices can be mentally extrapolated from these basic devices.
(Least someone misunderstand the above the reference to a text screen refers
to a command line screen not a graphics screen.)
The the idea is to learn the basics of the smallest - meaning least packages
possible - possible Linux system that will theoretically run a PC size
computer.
If one uses theoretical operating system for discussion then there is no need
to have a real world running system which would require time and effort to
configure and construct and which would bring nothing to the presentation.
The objective is simply a blackboard presentation of data flows and program
requirements.
Considerable thought should be given as to how such a small basic Linux system
PC system would interact with system Bois with absolutely NO consideration
given to writing code.
Such simple system should require simple block devices showing registers and
such as a maximum.
