A while back, I started keeping track of typoes/errors/whatever in LKD3 for the benefit of the eventual LKD4, and I started a page here: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Updates_to_LKD3 Partway down that page, you can see my notes on linked lists: http://www.crashcourse.ca/wiki/index.php/Updates_to_LKD3#Linked_lists I'm going to have to review what I wrote there to remember why I wrote it but, from a cursory glance, it appears that I still had complaints about the presentation in LKD3. So feel free to read that wiki section in conjunction with LKD3 to figure out what I was babbling about. rday _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
