> Since the kernel can't be swapped, why would you want virtual memory? > The driver can't be 'swapped', so virtual buys you nothing. Actually, what I'm doing is trying to write, strictly as an exercise, to write a "ramdisk". Having only 8 megs of ram on my system, I'd like to take advantage of virtual memory. So I know it doesn't ave much of a practical use, but I'd like to know if it's possible, and just how simple (or complicated) it would be. Thanks.
