'''Early user space''' is used on newer versions of the [[Linux]] [[Kernel (computer science)|kernel]] to replace as many functions as possible that would have originally been done in the kernel during the start-up process. Typical uses of early user space are to detect what [[device driver]]s are needed to load the main user space file system and load them from a [[temporary filesystem]].
