Baseload
By: Richard Glaser - Revised: 2006-05-31 devinThe baseload is the primary file system description and associated files. It is usually large, but it could be just the operating system (i.e. Mac OS X ), or the operating system and globally distributed applications, or it could be the entire client file system including the operating system, applications and administrator setup like users & groups, Directory Service setup, scripts, etc.
