And my point is that in order to start learning you don't need all the information. Because you need to start somewhere. You never need the whole pile of documentation, you need the relevant information for the thing you're trying to do. Tutorials are very good in pointing you to the pieces that are relevant for the start. Newbies would drown in the flood of information otherwise.Love4Boobies wrote:My point is not to learn everything.

And to be honest, I haven't read the spec that defines that the video memory is at 0xb8000 to this day. I'm glad some tutorial mentioned it. (Okay, in fact, I first read it in some Turbo Pascal book back then, but I couldn't use that information then.)
