Ordering and new entry can be done as per suggestion.
I am not a kernel guru.i am also newbies and learning..Is anybody willing to update the Kernel Hacking HOWTO,
on the kernelnewbies wiki so anybody everybody can help
out and turn it into something more complete and up to
date?
I'm not asking for a lifetime commitment to the cause,
just for some temporary effort. By leaving it on the
wiki, others can pick up the effort after you...
Please Tell me when it is reviewed finaly. Or what i have to do now? i will make changes into wiki according to suggestion.
ThanksSuman
