Topic 104.7 means the candidate is expected to be knowledgeable about this material: http://refspecs.linuxfoundation.org/FHS_2.3/fhs-2.3.html e.g., {,s}he is supposed to know that: ### Start Quote ### /boot : Static files of the boot loader Purpose This directory contains everything required for the boot process except configuration files not needed at boot time and the map installer. Thus /boot stores data that is used before the kernel begins executing user-mode programs. This may include saved master boot sectors and sector map files. [2] Specific Options The operating system kernel must be located in either / or /boot. [3] ### End Quote ### Topic 201.3 means that the candidate must know, for instance, that in order to (re)create a valid GRUB2 config file the following command must be run: root@localhost ~ # grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg or (in Fedora/RedHat): root@localhost ~ # grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg Another example: in order to recreate the kernel modules dependency file, /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/modules.dep, the depmod command is required. > Thanks in advance!
