Anothher comment regarding the boot loader: Note that you describe lilo. grub works a bit differently. It doesn't have the phisical address of the kernel hard-wired. Instead, it has a small file-system-reading component. Regarding the "completeness of the system (slide 18): a complete user-space system won't easily fit onto a floppy. I believe that it is possible to fit an X terminal into a floppy (maybe even with a minimal window manager), but the texmf tree will never fit into a floppy ;-) Phase3: Phase3 does have some interesting bootstrapping problems of its own. IIRC xinu has an init process of its own (called "init", or something similar), so you can mention that process. -- Tzafrir Cohen mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://linuxclub.il.eu.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
