There are a number of good books written on the kernel - Linux Device Drivers is due to have its third edition released in February. I'm glad - my second edition copy is starting to look a little ragged from constant reference. Check this website: http://www.dit.upm.es/~jmseyas/linux/kernel/hackers-docs.html It has a good listing of on- and off-line resources, and was updated recently. Jim
