CatherineCornelius's Journal: KernelNewbiesWiki

I had a look at the KernelNewbiesWiki. It looks a bit quiet, but I like Wikis for this kind of thing. I'm looking at Linux 0.01, and have written a

• Catalog of 0.01 Kernel components and a
• K ernel 0.01 Walkthrough.

Of course, documenting that ancient kernel doesn't prepare anybody to maintain the very different Linux kernels of later years, but 0.01 is very small and so it's a good place to start, and it has to overcome the same basic obstacles that any UNIX kernel faces during the boot process.
