not to sound self-serving but i covered that in my online course in the first couple of lessons here: http://crashcourse.ca/introduction-linux-kernel-programming/introduction-linux-kernel-programming those first five lessons have been released under a creative commons license so you're free to do with them what you wish, as long as it's compatible with the license. everything from lesson 6 is only available to subscribers, though. rday -- ======================================================================== Robert P.
