Does the system still bootstrap the kernel the same (same > functions etc) AFAIK, the bootstrapping is the same. Of course, the drivers etc has been updated substantially, as well as the kernel API. For instance, both UTLK 3rd ed. and Linux kernel programming is somewhat outdated, both in API as well as a few other areas. Personally, I can only vouch for the kernel/sched-part, but I suspect the other areas has seen some development since 2.6.10 ;-) > Thanks > > Joe Ryan My best advise, read Understanding the linux kernel (or at lest use it as a reference), and Linux kernel programming. From there, you should be able to get started, and learn how to read the source and figure out the API for yourself :) Also, the Linux kernel in a nutshell is a good book; http://www.kroah.com/lkn/ HTH henrik
