How to do paging

Post by itsmevjnk »

Hi,
I would love to know how to do paging. I know OSDev wiki has the guide on it, but I don't understand parts of it. I hope someone can help me to understand it.
Just a procrastinating uni student doing stupid things (or not doing them at all)...

Read about paging in the Intel manuals. They are relatively clean and easy to read, as long as you know how to follow the table of contents. And then come back here and ask about what you don't understand, because I'm sure nobody is going to write you a whole paragraph about what paging is and is not when the CPU manuals exist.
You know your OS is advanced when you stop using the Intel programming guide as a reference.
