Jonathan Corbet | 7358bb2 | 2016-10-26 16:14:52 -0600 | [diff] [blame] | 4 | The following is a collection of user-oriented documents that have been |
5 | added to the kernel over time. There is, as yet, little overall order or | ||||
6 | organization here — this material was not written to be a single, coherent | ||||
7 | document! With luck things will improve quickly over time. | ||||
8 | |||||
9 | This initial section contains overall information, including the README | ||||
10 | file describing the kernel as a whole, documentation on kernel parameters, | ||||
