and the kernel image, of course.

But this is not strictly correct. Any of these 3 files can also be
stroed in NOR flash and the flash address used directly as argument in
the bootm command.

The ideal situation is to have massive computing power right at home.
Something that dims the streetlights and shrinks the picture  on  the
neighbours' TVs when you boot it up.
