RE: New to L4

Hi Kashyap,
You may want to read the following papers:
http://l4ka.org/publications/paper.php?docid=642
http://l4ka.org/publications/paper.php?docid=639
http://l4ka.org/publications/paper.php?docid=650

on the development side, I can only suggest to read the code and web pages at l4ka.org and l4hq.org. Building user apps should be a simple matter of configure & make, actually, as explained on the following page:
http://l4hq.org/arch/ia32/

Best,
-Jan
