Message-ID: <20100806121630.GA3024@DSH> MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=gb2312 Content-Disposition: inline User-Agent: Mutt/1.5.20 (2009-06-14) Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Content-Length: 1101 Lines: 26 Hello, all. I have used linux(ubuntu) for more than one year. For long time, I wish I can hack in the kernel. But I still can't fix a bug or write a driver, except compile the kernel. I really need some suggestion. Now, I'm reading some book-- Linux kernel development, second edition, by Robert Love. Linux device driver, third edition, by Jonatban Corbet etc. But I find these books is so difficult to understand. The author always gave out new things that he has never explained. I wish if there is some way to learn the kernel step by step, or less hard. Could anyone give me some advice? PS: I have tried to read the source code, but they are even more difficult. I wish this email has been posted to the right place(not disturb you). I know you are busy coding. If this email is not appropriately, please do't be angry, just ignore it.
