Geting a go on memory management

[mr. xsism]

This has been one of my long planned goals so far in OSdev. I need so help in pointing me to resources that are good for a beginner. I have already looked at somes src code and a tut or two, but i need more. If someone can explain it to me that'd be cool. email me at monkeykiller4u @ hotmail dot com <- my spam account.

Or if any links can be provided that too would be great. Maybe even some src code, but not EVERYTHING!! I don't want to take anyone's code! thx.

No source code, but http://osdev.berlios.de/ -- read the memory management tutorials I wrote. Afterwards, come back with any questions.

well, I have actually alread yread these tuts tim, i like them. I printed them out a while ago. I'll read them and come back if i need anything. Here are some questions i need answered:
-if i use a stack approach, how would i figure out what memory pages are free?
-when i dealloc memory,what exactly happens?
-what kind of structures do i need in my code(btw,ii already have some,but just asking)
---
i already understand a lot. I guess i'm kinda lazy
I've officially started mm today. Thx

-if i use a stack approach, how would i figure out what memory pages are free?

If you use the stack approach, all pages put on this stack are free. If you need memory, you pop pages off the stack...

-when i dealloc memory,what exactly happens?

If you want to free/dealloc *physical* memory, you just put the pages back on the stack (when using stack approach)...

I don't know what you mean with the structures, sorry...
It all depends what you want to do and especially *how* you want to do it...you may use structures, but you needn't...
