Introduction to Linux - A Hands on Guide
This guide was created as an overview of the Linux Operating System, geared toward new users as an exploration tour and getting started guide, with exercises at the end of each chapter.
For more advanced trainees it can be a desktop reference, and a collection of the base knowledge needed to proceed with system and network administration. This book contains many real life examples derived from the author's experience as a Linux system and network administrator, trainer and consultant. They hope these examples will help you to get a better understanding of the Linux system and that you feel encouraged to try out things on your own.

I am trying to compile a linux kernel module (hello world). I am getting an error unknown processor.
I noticed that in "/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/defconfig"
CONFIG_M586NOCX8=y
is set.
However, in "/usr/inlcude/asm/module.h" as seen below that option
is not available. Does any one know ehich MODULE_PROC_FAMILY to use??
how do I get around this??
#ifdef __KERNEL__
#ifdef CONFIG_M386
#define MODULE_PROC_FAMILY "386 "
#elif defined CONFIG_M486
#define MODULE_PROC_FAMILY "486 "
