Hi everybody,

Just wondering if there are some documentations telling a newbie his
whereabouts in the kernel? It doesnt need to be an extensive line-by-line or

and architecture approach.

thanks and regards,

Thanks Stuart for sharing this. I once found a copy of this doc in 
Russian, and had been trying to find something similar in English.

As far as i remember, it was listed, but now it's not.

For anyone who can do a bit of russian, the video from this talk might be
helpful too -> http://uaoug.org.ua/openkyiv/2009/materials/.

Wow Stuart, what a great doc. Is it listed in OpenBSD website papers 
section? It should!

If you're looking for networking stuff, TCP/IP Illustrated Vol 2 is
still quite valid.

I you are looking for documentation about the design you could either read:
The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System, which
is a bit old but still valid.
A new book that could be interesting is:
The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System , which
focus on FreeBSD but is still valid.

There is also good information among these presentations:
http://openbsd.org/papers/

Is there a kernel walkthough for newbies?

2011-07-19 Thread Billy Wong 
Hi everybody,

Just wondering if there are some documentations telling a newbie his
whereabouts in the kernel? It doesnt need to be an extensive line-by-line or
file-by-file treatment but something at a higher level of the general design
and architecture approach.

thanks and regards,

bill
