Dear William, Thanks for the reply and information, well i wanted to know that how can i see the source code of linux when iam working on linux being in the root, what pathname name should i type to get to the source code file of linux. 2. if i have the device driver module's source code written for perticular device than where should i store it, so that it will support to my device whenever any user seeks it. 3. During installation of linux, what if i assign the swapping space4 times of my present memory size OR less than the present memory size. I mean will it have any problems in system performance in both the cases. 4. what command should i type to know the version of my present OS. Please Suggest me Thanks n Regards Heerappa |---------+----------------------------> | | William Lee Irwin| | | III | | | <wli@holomorphy.c| | | om> | | | | | | 04/28/2003 12:56 | | | PM | | | | |---------+----------------------------> >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | | | To: Heerappa Hunje <hunjeh@celetron.com> | | cc: linux-mm@kvack.org, kernelnewbies@nl.linux.org | | Subject: Re: questions on swapping | >------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| On Mon, Apr 28, 2003 at 12:46:15PM +0530, Heerappa Hunje wrote: > 1.

Pls suggest me the pathname. ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5/ and ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/ for the less adventurous On Mon, Apr 28, 2003 at 12:46:15PM +0530, Heerappa Hunje wrote: > 2. let me know the different ways to connect the device drivers module to > the kernel. This is a bit too general to answer at all.

Buffers are in RAM, swap is on-disk. -- wli -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
