Re:Urgent
Dear Jai, Instead of buying books and all. Just start working with LFS. If you got the mail-list id, then I am sure that you know the place to download the book(LFS-6.6) But be sure to go through the pre-requisite reading list though. Thanking you, Prakhar Gaur -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

A Kernel patch overview?
Having just installed LFS-6.6 with kernel-2.6.32.7, I thought I'd look into patching it to the current patch level. OTOH, I'm on a 40Kbps dialup line and a 10MB patch-2.6.33 is big enough to: a) give me pause before attempting a few hours of downloading, b) suggest that there's some significant new features. Patch...34 is about the same size. IIRC the Changelog-2.6.33 is nearly that big, making it perhaps most of the patch file, but it's full of sign-offs and not a particular good place to find out what's new. Is there someplace where someone writes about what's new in kernel patches? New and removed features, considerations about implementation, etc.? Someplace where we can see what's in it, whether it has anything for us or not? -- Paul Rogers paulgrog...@fastmail.fm http://www.xprt.net/~pgrogers/ Rogers' Second Law: Everything you do communicates.

Doesn't look like my old desktops have any burning need for the patches.

To go back in time, you can go to http://lwn.net/Archives/ and go back two or three weeks (the most recent week or two being reserved for subscribers), click 'Kernel' for the week, scroll near the bottom to 'kernel tree' and you'll find the cogent summaries. Getting the daily RSS feeds lets you avoid this rigamarole going forward. Not necessarily for the faint of heart, but these notes *will* keep you informed. FWIW, KDE's Akregator works very nicely with LWN's feed and keeps all previous notes until I delete them. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page

I'm not sure the OP could absorb that much info that quickly. The OP needs to select his hardware, learn the peripheral interfaces, design a consistent hardware control interface, then design a consistent user-space interface that presents the necessary APIs to control user access to hardware. Beyond that, the OP needs to select a language and learn to write in that language lucidly and clrealy so that he can return to old work weeks, months and even years later and figure out what he was thinking and doing in the past. Then he needs to select a programming language and learn it inside, outside, upside and downside. Next he needs to choose his 'best' methods, practices and procedures and learn them from every which way. Thus armed, he can design and implement any sort of operating system he chooses, because the way will be fairly clear. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
