Dear all, Thank you for your guidance. I was nowhere near asking someone to do the research for me but just a direction to point to. I think I got what I needed for now, and you gave me what you could. James, George, and Tim, thank you for your help. James, you asked a tempting question that if I wanted more information I should ask. So, here is it: My question is just about a high level architecture of the memory, and a hint or two about the paging and segmentation's way of working. Are they close to the any Unix version that Sun provides. Can I just go to Sun's site and find out about these? I have found a book on FreeBSD but it is just about the installation and the use of it. I hope that I am not disturbing anyone by posting these messages. If I am, please give me a hint to stop.
