how can i understand this description in the l4re-source document?
Hello: In the page 19 of the l4re-source document there is a description about caps as following: Caps The table with application-specific named capabilities (default is an empty table). If the table does not contain a capability with the name ’rom’, the ’rom’ capability from Ned’s initial caps is inserted into the table. How can i understand "If the table does not contain a capability with the name ’rom’, the ’rom’ capability from Ned’s initial caps is inserted into the table." Thanks. Warm regards. Cheng Guanghui

It just means that ned always gives a 'rom' service to each app, either one explicitly set or, if that hasn't been done, the default one which happens to be the same 'rom' service used by ned itself. So in most cases you can omit specifying a 'rom' service as there will be the default one automatically. Adam -- Adam adam@os.inf.tu-dresden.de Lackorzynski http://os.inf.tu-dresden.de/~adam/
