RE: OS development
There is another book, called "Linux Kernel Internals", this was may start point on the wonderfull world of Linux. There are two editions: an about kernel version 1 (that's what I get) and another about kernel version 2. /H\j[EMAIL PROTECTED] (=U=) 55-11-3741-3510 '-'Sistema Empresa / SIAL 2000 -Original Message- From: Rod Boyce [SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, September 07, 1999 5:00 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: OS development What about uCOSII book search on any technical book site and you will find the book describing uCOSII.

I'm hoping there's something out there not necassarily on linux but on OS/kernel development in general. I know at the university here, they offer a course in OS development. It's a 3 year course I believe, and it covers all the aspects of development, from the theories to actually writing the system/apps. I've been told that it's possible to sit in on some of the lectures of this course, so you might find a university/college near you has similar courses which you may be able to sit in on. Failing that, simply look at ELKS from the very beginning (ELKS 0.0.10 is available, and linux-86 before that), and look at how things have been implemented since then. Davey

Re: OS development
Also a facinating book called the "developement of the BSD 4.4 operating system" not much around that talks about non-unix OSes though.
