For example, Tannenbaum's or something like this. The 4.4BSD book goes into details expecting that you have the high-level knowledge of things, so without that knowledge it would be very difficult to read. Another prerequisite would be a book on general Unix systems programming, and by the same reason: reading about how things are implemented is much easier if you already know what these things being implemented are. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
