reading source?
 

I was going through my various spare kernel howtos and such and I happened upon various statements and walkthroughs of recompiling. It was talking alot about the source and such. And I was wondering if somehow I can just read the direct source code. Running slackware 9.1 btw.

Thanks

Look in /usr/src/linux. If it isn't there then download and install the package from http://www.slackware.com/pb/search.p...&string=source (then look in /usr/src/linux ).

Source files (for C/C++ anyway) will end in something like .c, .cpp, or .C. You can look at these using any text editor.

download the exuberant ctags program from sourceforge, for reading.

How about using lxr??
