 '''1)''' The TXT[0] terminal is reserved for the kernel. It is normally used by the kernel to display log and/or debug messages. It can only be used by the user processes for debug, through some specific system calls such as the panic() or display_xxx() functions, that should not be used in normal exploitation.
 
-'''2)''' The other (NB_TXT_CHANNELS - 1) terminals TXT[i] are shared resources used by user processes. During kernel initialization,  ALMOS-MKH creates the first INIT user process, that creates itself (NB_TXT_CHANNELS -1) KSH user processes (one shell per user text terminal). All processes created by a KSH[i] process share the same TXT[i] terminal as the parent process, and belong to the same group of process.
