`To the extent that Realtime contends this reference does not explicitly disclose this

`
`Mealey discloses this limitation:
`
`“Disclosed is an approach that reduces resources and time required for
`system initialization. This is accomplished by applying a data compression
`algorithm to the text and data of a boot-image.
`The boot-image is divided into two portions: text and data. The text is
`compressed and bound with a decompression program. It is decompressed
`immediately after being loaded.
`The data portion is a RAM disk file system. The file system is compressed
`at the block level. It is accessed by a pseudo device driver that compresses
`on writes and decompresses on reads. The file system remains compressed
`during system initialization reducing the amount of memory required to
`hold it.
`Applying compression to a boot image can produce a significant time
`savings when booting from a slow device, such as a busy LAN or floppy
`disk. It also reduces the size of the media required to hold the image.
`Finally, it can reduce the amount of memory required to hold the boot
`image until system initialization is complete.”

`Mealey, as evidenced by the example
`citations below, discloses
`boot data comprises program code
`“wherein the boot data comprises program
`associated with one of an operating
`code associated with one of an operating
`system of the computer system, an
`system of the computer system, an
`application program, and a combination
`application program, and a combination
`thereof.
`thereof.”
`
`To the extent that Realtime contends this reference does not explicitly disclose this
`element of this claim (for example, boot data that comprises program code associated
`with one of an operating system of the computer system, an application program, and a
`combination thereof), Apple contends that one of skill in the art would understand the
`operation of booting a computer system to include the element that is missing similar to
`the manner in which the patentee relied upon such knowledge of skill in the art during
`prosecution. See Sections VI. and VII. of Apple’s Invalidity Contentions.
`
`Mealey discloses this limitation:
`
`See Claims 1.1, 1.3, and 1.4 above.

`
`“Disclosed is an approach that reduces resources and time required for
`system initialization. This is accomplished by applying a data compression
`algorithm to the text and data of a boot-image.
`The boot-image is divided into two portions: text and data. The text is
`compressed and bound with a decompression program. It is decompressed
`immediately after being loaded.
`The data portion is a RAM disk file system. The file system is compressed
`at the block level. It is accessed by a pseudo device driver that compresses
`on writes and decompresses on reads. The file system remains compressed
`during system initialization reducing the amount of memory required to
`hold it.
`Applying compression to a boot image can produce a significant time
`savings when booting from a slow device, such as a busy LAN or floppy
`disk. It also reduces the size of the media required to hold the image.
`Finally, it can reduce the amount of memory required to hold the boot
`image until system initialization is complete.”

`3. The method of claim 1, wherein the
`preloading is performed by a data storage

`

`“wherein the preloading is performed by a

`4. The method of claim 1, further
`Mealey, as evidenced by the example
`citations below, discloses
`comprising updating the list of boot data.
`“updating the list of boot data.”
