I thank you all for your patience. I have improved the section of device drivers somewhat. I had hoped to have a rough section of block drivers as well, but that won't happen until July sometime, anyway. However, I have included a really rough outline, and lots of comments embedded in the text, so send me plenty of email with comments, and feel free to write helpful blurbs for me to use as I write more. Because I am getting married in a week, it will be nearly a month before I read mail much again. This will be a sabatical from Linux, as well as the rest of the world. When I come back, I hope to be able to make something useful of the KHG and make it public this summer. Therefore, I ask for as much help as possible. I know for sure that there are many mistakes and misunderstandings in the current KHG. I do not pretend to know everything -- the reason that I am the one working on this is that I find writing it *fun*, not that I am an amazing kernel hacker. I will take any corrections you have to offer quite meekly.... The tar file, khg.tar.z, includes the source. There are also dvi and ps compiled versions of the guide in khg.dvi.z and khg.ps.z. The total length is 120 pages -- be aware of this before you start printing. The files are available in ftp.stolaf.edu:/pub/linux-doc/ michaelkjohnson ------------------------------ End of DOC Digest ***************** ------- .
