I think those sections are compulsory by the kernel! but i don't know, you are perhaps looking for something "flat", without sections, without header, just the assembled code, right? like a .com windows program? (in this case i don't have the answer) Because an ELF (also PE) program must have sections, usually one for the code (you can execute and read, but not write), other for the variables (read and write access, -also execute-), and another section with the addresses of the imported functions. *I think* this is how it works nowadays. - -- "Do you pine for the nice days of minix-1.1, when men were men and wrote their own device drivers?" -- Linus Torvalds "If you want to go somewhere, goto is the best way to get there." -- Ken Thompson "Value your freedom or you will lose it" -- Richard Stallman GNU/Linux Registered User #460377 Slackware 13.0 64 bits -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkz6n/sACgkQOLozpb7LE6JgrgCfcs1RNxHaTfG/Tee1u4yuV4v2 lrgAoJk4YVEQIQHMeYZ5lg5EsVWo4GFx =4mmg -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
