If you write normal program you probably press "build" or type "gcc" at least 10 times to see what is going on. I think that only thing necessary is: system to boot one time and then you can load image in ram memory as many times as you want. So I am not sure if this is ok, but at least I will try. But I am not saying that if this works, the changes are going to crush or freeze system more often than produce any kind of result :) For example, we can boot from GRUB command line, so this would be something like falling back to GRUB command line [to that point] and load [any] image in ram memory. thanks, Dragoslav Zaric [Programmer, M.Sc Astrophysics] -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
