Hello, Firsr of all, I'll really appreciate if someone answers my last email. Secondly, What do i need to do to get a higher clock(tick)-rate? just change the value of HZ in asm/param.h and compile the kernel? In simple words: does changing value of HZ in the #define really change the value of HZ? ===== --------------------------------------------------------- "To teach how to live without certainty, and yet without being paralysed by hesitation, is perhaps the chief thing that philosophy, in our age, can still do for those who study it." --Bertrand Russell "According to all the rules (of Software Engineering) I knew, Linux should have been a disaster, but it was'nt.
