> inidentally what differentiates a line feed from a carriage return?

Think of the old fashioned typewriters... starting to type on a new line
actually involves two actions -- the typewriter head returning to the
start of the line (carriage return) and the roller rotating so it
addresses the next line down (line feed). The two characters are the
equivalent of those actions.
