I can finally start familiarizing with subsystems and drivers and work towards my first kernel patch! Your welcome once again.:) Also there is great book that Greg KH has written, http://www.kroah.com/lkn/ (Linux Kernel In Nutshell), Its a great start for beginners, All the kernel compilation steps are mentioned in the book, be sure to read it. :) -- -- Regards, Anil Nair _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
