I concur. What would be ideal is some general debugging guidance for people like me who can and do program C but aren't very familiar with kernel source. Of course you could just read the source, but since it's so large, you wouldn't get far before other demands pull you away; your effort doesn't actually get you anywhere in most cases. I posted a problem related to the tulip driver at one point, and the response was "well then, fix it". Further requests for starting points or hints went unanswered. It's pretty much intractable to just say "you fix it" and then provide no guidance on how. The learning curve/ potential barrier to getting something useful accomplished id just to high without some aid. rob On Sun, 9 Jun 2002, Derek Broughton wrote: > Pavel Machek wrote: > > > > Stop complaining and go fixing problems. > > Pavel > > PS: Please do not mail any more mails like this.
