If you are really adventurous, add in virtual memory to the list. VM is generally only explained very conceptually in OS texts because there is so much detail you need to get right, much of which is machine-dependent. Tanenbaum left VM out of Minix, which is otherwise a nice demo of simplified OS concepts, for example. -- Philip Machanick (Visiting Academic, School of ITEE, University of Queensland) 39 Cunningham Street, Taringa, Qld 4068, Australia http://opinion-nation.blogspot.com/ +61-7-3871-0963 (office 3365-1624) skype philipmach
