+Good day.
+
+I am a developer, have some c knowledge, and in perspective hope to be able to make a contribution in Hurd kernel. At the moment I consider myself as a beginner.
+
+My question is about the second exercise.
+
+>Implement your own pager. Write a server that synthesizes content on the fly and have a client map the object into its address space and print out the file.
+
+* Is it targeted to Mach or to an arbitrary OS?
+* The second sentence "Write a server that..." is too long and too difficult for me to understand perhaps because English is not my native language. Could you please explain it in a little bit easier phrases?
+* Am I write that in a given context pager means just memory allocator?
