i'm pondering adding to one of my linux.com articles one of these days some links that would be useful for kernel noobs, but i have no idea how useful or up-to date the kernelnewbies.org site is these days. specifically, the FAQ itself doesn't inspire me with confidence. following the very first link: http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/KernelCompilation we read that this applies to version 2.6.0, which is *way* old. and the tar command to extract from a bz2 tarball is just wrong: $ tar xivf linux-2.6.0.tar.bz2 no, that "i" should be a "j" for bz2 tarballs. to be blunt, i'd like to recommend the best of the best of the available links for kernel beginners, but i'm not going to include links to material that are out of date or just plain wrong. sorry to sound harsh, but that's the way it is. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
