I have problem in locating the source code of linux operating system because i dont know in which path it is kept. Pls suggest me the pathname. << Linux source code is generally located in /usr/src/linux<version> >> 2. let me know the different ways to connect the device drivers module to the kernel. << You need to compile the device driver module with required flags and need to insert the module in kernel using insmod >> 3. let me know where actually the space for SWAPPING, BUFFERS are allocated. i mean whether they are in RAM Memory or Hard disk drive. << While configuring the system you generally create a separate partition for swap device. We can also configure some file as a swap space. Generally swap space is located on disk bcoz the entire purpose of swap is to extend physical memory. Any way technically you can even configure ramdisk and make it swap partition. >> Thanks in advance for the help.
