[ug-bosug] Hi.. every one.. want your suggestion..

[KishoreKumar Bairi]

hmmmm....
yeah.. its seems impossible.
ok. first i will go through some older kernels (size <= 2mb)
and then will select some topics from
http://www.opensolaris.org/os/communities/#all


but kindly someone answer my other query also.
No. I dont know assembly language. So I thought of starting it and googled.
but  i am really confused now.
assembly language(ASM) is processor dependent. there are  many  different
types of  ASMs
like SPARC instruction set,  ARM instruction set,  80x86  programming,MIPS
assembly programming etc..etc... I dont even know what all these mean. :(

1. should i learn all these to learn internals of any kernel??
2. since most of kernels are compatible with many processors. Do the
developers write instructions in so many ASMs??
3. Is it not sufficient if i learn only 80x86 programming? should i learn
all others also.
4. which one should i start with??
