SubjectStarting kernel threads (or something like that)
First question:  When the kernel loads, what is the _FIRST_ operation it 
does after initializing itself? (I'm looking at replacing _EVERYTHING_
below the kernel and want an idea of where I start)

And a second question: How difficult is it to start a daemon that hooks into
a kernelspace driver and handles, say, consoles?

I was admiring the new (1.3.57?+) virtual memory management and this
thought came to mind.

And a stranger thought: (don't freak out anyone :)
What if that daemon (ish) were an X server?

Would have to run in userspace. Would have ta handle sockets (or
whatever X does now). The big trick (and the one I haven't figured out
how to do yet) is to kill the consoles and take over.... from boot time.

Thanks all!
