Look at the links starting from http://www.kernelnewbies.org Also, a good operating systems book should cover this. I.e. what happens when I'm typing malloc, how many memory is assigned to a process, what is virtual memory, how swapping works, etc... malloc is actually handled by the gnu C library, so I suggest you start looking there for explanation of their allocator. P.S. Looked at http://www.haifux.org/all.html and did not find anything on the subject.. That's certainly an ommision. I'll try to rectify it the near future. -- Muli Ben-Yehuda The speed of light really is too slow nowdays. -- Alan Cox = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
