If by executable binary, you mean an ELF binary, then no, it wouldn't be easy. (Obviously, it's *possible*, because that's exactly what Linux does when you run a program.) You'd have to replicate all of the program-loading processes that the kernel does for you. The answer is to just use an exec function to run the program file directly. There's no point in trying to mmap() it first (and in fact the kernel will undoubtedly use mmap in the process of loading it). b - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-assembly" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
