CompTIA Linux+ (XK0-004) — Question 159

In which of the following directories is the vmlinuz file located?

Answer options

• A. /boot
• B. /etc
• C. /bin
• D. /proc

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The vmlinuz file, which is the compressed Linux kernel image, is located in the /boot directory. The other options, /etc, /bin, and /proc, serve different purposes; /etc contains configuration files, /bin contains essential binaries, and /proc is a virtual filesystem providing process and kernel information.
