I want to learn how the kernel works and how things build on top of one another. And here I am looking at the source tree and not knowing where to start. The 'Documentation' folder would probably be a good bet but after that? I suupose, I could go see what is in the 'drivers' directory but I don't think taht I would understand much of it if I don't know how the things below work. So where should I start reading the source? Somewhere in the 'kernel' dir? Or in 'include'? or in 'asm'??? I would appreciate any useful advice, thanks in advance Todor - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
