My problem at least is to know where to start. I would like to get into the kernel internals, but as I said. Where do I start? For me the best way to get going is to have a goal I want to reach, and that really helps me. My advice would be, read code, look at submitted patches, and just play around. Don't be afraid to break thing. You can always reinstall, it is not like you are operating on someones brain. -- Eirik Nygaard eirikn@xxxxxxxxxxxx Never let a computer know you're in a hurry.
