I think what is easy and what not is relative, if you are more documented about kernel and use english as your primary language, many question appear to you as basic. I think my question appear to you easy. I know your answer after you make it. That is because the question is not all specific it should be. But i think the answers i get should be more completes. Example: your response: ac = alan cox expected response: ac is Alan Cox and this patches are oriented to support x hardware..., (i don't found it in the faq, may be because alan cox patches only solve problems aleatory, without one specific purpose, and that is the only answer i can get to my question), and the documentation for alan cox patches are in that url .... that link should be usefull too http://www.linuxhq.com/lkprogram.html > > > Otherwise the list must be > > called kernel-bugs-report or mark-hahn-kernel-bugs > :-) > > or something similar > > the list is specifically "discussion of > kernel-development issues". > it's not "how do I find the most introductory > information possible". > for instance, patches are almost certainly > well-described in the > lkml faq, and changelogs are found in the most > logical possible > place (www.kernel.org). sorry but i think the faq is incomplete, i think useless for what i need too. It have incomplete answers and not links references for many important questions. May be should exist one list or forum dedicated to: Kernel, Kernel Patches, Kernel Modules, Kernel Drives and other about Kernel Development and Bugs Report. > > lkml is not a kernel-bug list, nor do I have any > importance to it. > I simply offered you some advice out of charity. > If one question is easy to answer it not make it not important, is important for who make it, not for you. If exist other list, forum, ... more related to kernel and kernel patched and it's drivers compilation problems please let me know it. If i make more questions in that list, i will make more specific questions in order to get more usefull answers. But probably not because i think that list is only for who develop the kernel and not for who compile and use them and it's patches and drivers. Thanks for your help and Good luck!!
