Is there anything that the kernel need to get from the boot loader.Usually the kernel is capable of bringing up a system from scratch,so why does it require anything from boot-loader? I have seen boot messages from kernel like this. "Fetching vars from bootloader... OK" So what exactly is the variables being passed? Also how's the va...
Is there any standard method of accessing the database in the bootstrap.php file with CakePHP? Specifically I want to set "putenv()" to a time zone that's stored in the database. Is there another way of achieving the same thing that I should be using instead? Thanks. ...
This might be in vain, as I know writing an operating system is unbearably complicated (especially by oneself). I don't expect to build the next linux, or windows. I know it will be horrible, and buggy, and won't work, but that's fine. I want to write everything myself, in assembly, C, and (some) C++. This is a future project, as I'm...
I keep seeing "bootstrapping" mentioned in discussions of application development. It seems both widespread and important, but I've yet to come across even a poor explanation of what bootstrapping actually is; rather, it seems as though everyone is just supposed to know what it means. I don't, though. Near as I can figure, it has some...

Hi, My only experience in O/S development before this has been to create a 'Hello World' OS running from a Floppy drive. What I need now is to develop a simple O/S to boot from a USB stick. And I have a few roadblocks: How do I write to the boot "sector" of a USB stick? Are there any tools available? Do you know of any good tutorial...

I am designing a database using sql server express. Once completed how can I include sql server express and my database into the msi package to automatically install in the client's machine? ...
I understand how a language can bootstrap itself, but I haven't been able to find much reference on why you should consider bootstrapping. The intuitive answer is that the language you're writing offers utilities that are not found in the "base" language of the compiler, and the language's features are relatively well-suited for a compi...
I am trying to bootstrap SQL Server 2008 Express SP1 into my application. Previously I used Wise for Windows to perform the prerequisite installation, but Wise doesn't support Windows Installer 4.5 yet. I am now trying to use the Visual Studio 2008 bootstrap technology with WiX 3.0, and have had good success getting the SQL Server prer...

In my scenario I have created two bootstrappers: With Relative Prerequisites (at the local repository). With HomeSite (download from the vendor's website). Now I have to copy my msi file for both of the bootstrappers in two different locations. So can I just put msi at one location and use it for both the bootstrapper? As it saves h...
Hi all, I tried to ask this once, but I think that my former question was too unclear for you guys to answer, so I'll try again I'm making a website using the Zend Framework, and am trying to include the premade messageboard Phorum. So far, I've made it work by not running it through my bootstrap using my .htaccess file. What I'd li...
Here is a sample application that creates a Window with a single Button inside. When clicked, it connects to OOo (if not already connected) and creates a text document. This works fine unless all the documents created in OOo are closed. Then, I get a DisposedException when trying to create the next chart. This is understandable, but OO...
I am configuring Automapper in the Bootstrapper and I call the Bootstrap() in the Application_Start(), and I've been told that this is wrong because I have to modify my Bootstrapper class each time I have to add a new mapping, so I am violating the Open-Closed Principle. How do you think, do I really violate this principle? public sta...

I'm bootstrapping a programming language compiler on top of LLVM. Currently I'm mostly done writing a compiler for a subset of C which is self-compiling. When I'm finished with that, I'll bootstrap my language away from C, maintaining self-compilation as I go. Since the compiler is self-compiling, any features of C that I use I will h...
I have an install that uses the bootstrapper that requires a few different packages. One is the .Net 3.5 installer, and the others are important but not as large. I'd like the .Net 3.5 installer to be downloaded when needed, but I want the other packages to be included. Is there a way to do this? I want some to download from the vend...
