David Gatwood said that he was writing a kernel programming book with the working title "Kernel Panic" (and he said that would not be the final title). Also, Gautam Godse said that he was writing a book with the tentative title "Mac OS X/ Darwin: Internals". Have those books or any similar books come out? not to my knowledge, but I would be interested to see them Also, the online developer documentation on kernel programming suggests reading the book "The Design and Implementation of the 4.4 BSD Operating System" by McKusick et al for background for the BSD part of the kernel. However, it says that the BSD stuff is based on the FreeBSD operating system. on FreeBSD 3.2, or so I am led to believe More recently, the book "The Design and Implementation of the FreeBSD Operating System" by McKusick and Neville-Neil. So should I really be reading the FreeBSD book? it's a good book, and will do you no harm to read it It is focused on FreeBSD 5.2 Does anybody know if there is much new stuff in the FreeBSD book anyway? (I already own a copy of the older 4.4 BSD book.) I own both, and yes there are quite a number of differences S a m ------------------------------------------------------- Drawing on my fine command of language, I said nothing. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
