[Courses] request for a course or good resources...

[nicole]

I just configured and compiled my own kernel from source for the first 
time and found it a bit confusing.  The configuration options I picked 
the first time around caused the compilation process to fail.  Going 
with just the defaults, the compilation succeeded.  Now, I just need to 
try booting it and see what happens.

Based on the array of options in the 2.6 kernel, I figured I would let 
it be known that if anyone was interested in writing about it, I would 
like to see it as a course.  Basically, the details on what each option 
is, loading them as static vs. using modules, and anything else someone 
who doesn't have experience with kernels should know prior to delving 
into the kernel hacking course available.

And, barring anyone wanting to take that on,  can anyone recommend some 
resources they personally found better than most on learning the 
intimate details of configuring kernels?
