 <p>The most common bootloader for Linux is GRUB, you are most likely using it on your system. There are many other bootloaders that you can use such as LILO, efilinux, coreboot, SYSLINUX and more. However, we will just be working with GRUB as our bootloader. </p>
 <p>So we know that the bootloader's main goal is to load up the kernel, but where does it find the kernel? To find it, we will need to look at our kernel parameters. The parameters can be found by going into the GRUB menu on startup using the 'e' key. If you don't have GRUB no worries, we'll go through the boot parameters that you will see:</p>
 <ul>
-<li>initrd - Specifies the location of initial RAM disk (we'll talk more about this in the next lesson).
+<li>initrd - Specifies the location of initial RAM disk (we'll talk more about this in the next lesson).</li>
 <li>BOOT_IMAGE  - This is where the kernel image is located</li>
 <li>root - The location of the root filesystem, the kernel searches inside this location to find init. It is often represented by it's UUID or the device name such as /dev/sda1.</li>
 <li>ro - This parameter is pretty standard, it mounts the fileystem as read-only mode.</li>
 <li>quiet - This is added so that you don't see display messages that are going on in the background during boot.</li>

@@ -85,7 +85,14 @@ <h3>Umask</h3>
 <p>Every file that gets created comes with a default set of permissions. If you ever wanted to change that default set of permissions, you can do so with the umask command. This command takes the 3 bit permission set we see in numerical permissions. </p>
 <p>Instead of adding these permissions though, umask takes away these permissions. </p>
 <pre>$ umask 021</pre>
-<p>In the above example, we are stating that we want the default permissions of new files to allow users access to everything, but for groups we want to take away their write permission and for others we want to take away their executable permission. The default umask on most distributions is 022, meaning all user access, but no write access for group and other users.</p>
+<p>In the above example, we are taking nothing away from the user, taking the write permission away from the group, and taking the execute permission away from everyone else.</p>
+<p>Now, what is umask subtracting from? Not 777, as you might expect. The system starts from 666 for a new file and 777 for a new directory, and then removes the umask bits. Files start at 666 because it would be a bad idea to make every file you create executable.</p>
+<p>So with the common default umask of 022:</p>
+<pre>
+new file:      666 - 022 = 644  (rw-r--r--)
+new directory: 777 - 022 = 755  (rwxr-xr-x)
+</pre>
+<p>This is why a file you just made is not executable even though your umask leaves the user bits alone. If you want to run it as a program, you still have to add the execute bit yourself with chmod.</p>
 <p>When you run the umask command it will give that default set of permissions on any new file you make. However, if you want it to persist you'll have to modify your startup file (.profile), but we'll discuss that in a later lesson.</p>
