I know what the IDT is, but I don't know what values it contains. I have looked at the Intel manuals and I haven't found anything on it.

What are the minumum values I would need to incorporate into it, in order for it to work in my os?

A example in assembly would be helpful. Also any tutorials on this would be appreciated, or if you have any info of the IDT on your hard drive, I would like to take a look at it.

Thanks in advance!

You haven't looked very hard! Look in Chapter 9.

All of them, including destination selector and offset, DPL, access rights and gate type.

I 've narrowed it down to the intel 386 system programming manual for chapter 9 but when I try to read it online it trys downloading it from a ftp site and then it freezes.

Every link I have gone to does this for this one programming manual. Why is that?

Tim, could you send me a copy of the Intel system Programming volume 3 manual.

I found and downloaded a copy of the whole intel manuals combined in a text file.

Thanks anyways!
