| **Bootstrap** is a program that initializes the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:os]] during startup. The term bootstrap or bootstrapping originated in the early 1950s. It referred to a bootstrap load button that was used to initiate a hardwired bootstrap program, or smaller program that executed a larger program such as the OS. The term was said to be derived from the expression “pulling yourself up by your own bootstraps,” starting small and loading programs one at a time while each program is “laced” or connected to the next program to be executed in sequence. | **Bootstrap** is a program that initializes the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:o:os]] during startup.
