An analogy would be to picture a large,

                                     single-story  home  with  all  the  utilities,

                                     appliances,  furnishings,  and  rooms

                                     contained within the same building.






                                     Rearranging furniture in a huge packed
                                     room  is  similar  to  the  considerable


                                     alteration required to change or update

                                                              Device drivers, file systems,

                                                             and the kernel are all housed

                                                               in the same address space

                                                                as a monolithic operating


                                                                              system.
