Lecture 14 Chapter 13 deals with the low-level management of disk drives. We will take a look at the Linux operating system and MS Windows NT as different approaches to operating system development in chapters 22 and 23. We will divide the class into groups of three or so and each group will install and configure Linux on a computer. Each computer will be configured to do dial-up, PPP networking, Ethernet networking and to run the X Window System. We'll want to recompile the kernel.
