It could be easy with the availability of more sections in the executable once we change to ELF. ;-) (There's IMHO nothing preventing you from declaring parts of the kernel to be pageable, apart from that you need to make a distinction between pageable and non-pageable regions somehow. Three sections in a.out is apparently too few to remember this disctinction.) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
