 Post subject: memory management questions
PostPosted: Mon Oct 29, 2001 12:00 am 
I don't where to put gdt, is linear address a valid address?
I don't know also where to put the interrupt handlers!
How big must a stack be?
How to implement a communication between task witch don't share memory?
Thanks!

gdt is Global Descroptor Table and is used for memory management in Protected Mode
