most likely, i'll be giving a kernel talk at ottawa LUG next week

[Robert P. J. Day]

  while i'm still waiting for official confirmation, i've offered to
give next week's talk at the ottawa (ontario) linux users group.
here's the current posting which doesn't mention it yet:

  http://oclug.on.ca/meeting/70/

since i'm in town and there was nothing on the schedule, i volunteered
to give a short (hands-on) talk on building and booting a new kernel,
and how to write, compile and load your first kernel module.  nothing
earth-shaking, but if you wanted to see that done step-by-step in real
time and be able to ask questions as it's happening, stop by.

  i'm hoping that a synopsis goes up fairly soon.

How to identity processor architecture

[prabhu]

Hi Dear,

I just wanna to know my processor architecture(32bit or 64 bit) through 
c programming.

According to me the sizeof of pointer will give the result. Like below 
coding.

int main()
{
int *ptr;
printf("%d",sizeof(ptr));
}

If the result is 4 then it is 32 bit processor... If it is 8 then it is 
64 bit processor.

Please correct me if i am wrong... (I do not have system to check this.)

Any suggestion or help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Prabhu
