Hi Taha, I thik starting by reading these books is a good idea, also start googling for your queries which you find while reading, you can also post your queries to the mailing list like this kernelnewbiews, people here do help alot in clearing your doubts. On googling for a particular topic, you will find number of links to good online articles and tutorials. regards, Gaurav > > > > > -- > Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. > Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ > FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/ > > -- -- -Gaurav Email: gauravd.chd@xxxxxxxxx --------------------------------- Read my blog at: http://lkdp.blogspot.com/ --------------------------------- -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
