Docs to print

[Jeko]

I'll be on vacation for a week, but I want to do something for my OS also when I'll be at the sea.

So, can you give me some advices on what useful documents can I print and read in the vacation?

EDIT: I've written a good virtual memory manager, so I don't need anything about physical or virtual memory.

Print the linux 0.01 source code. I did that.

It's too long. Isn't it?
And however is a very old kernel, I don't know if it's useful

I don't know about you, but if I was on a vacation I would RELAX and surely wouldn't think about computers or OS dev!
But if you really can't say goodbye to PCs for at least a week, I suggest reading intel manuals. They'll make you busy all the time

I need something about OS design, for example some docs on filesystem handling or on device driver interface would be very useful.

Grab the ZFS pdfs from http://opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/ . In particular the ZFS On-Disk Specification. It really is a cool file system.

Thank you. But I need docs on virtual filesystem handling not on implementations of filesystems (I won't write my filesystem drivers, I'll let other people do this for me).
I need only docs on kernel issues.
Virtual File System
Device Driver Interface
ELF support (I've yet printed something)
Kernel level optimizations (for example caches, etc.)
...

Haven't you any docs about OS design?

you are being quite picky about your reading material. All of the above are great reads and provide much information, espcially the intel software developers manuals 3a-3b. You could read the UDI docs for your driver interfacing, or you could read the art of assembly for a wide selection of topics.

You might want to just go through the 'book recommendation' thread as it contains a large chunk of great reads in both online and printed formats.

I would go with the ZFS doc. To create a VFS layer you have to know about file systems anyway, so it's not as if it is completely useless.

Thank you.
I've printed docs about Linux's VFS, Linux Buffer Cache.
I wanted something about graphics device driver interface, but I couldn't find anything to print.
Now I read Book Recommendations to see if there is something interesting.
