I'm currently doing some research on the IA32 Segementation Concept. But there's one thing I don't understand: If I perform a far jump it looks like this: jmp 16bit:32bit The 16bit are representing the segement number and the 32bit the offset. But to what refers the 16bit? To the GDT or the current LDT? -- Thanks Matthias-Christian Ott
