= Kernel Hacking HOWTO =

The layout proposed by Suman Adak is below.

Please create a new subpage (eg ["/Introduction"]) for each section, since this document could end up really 
large...

If something is already documented elsewhere on this site, please link to that other document instead of trying to duplicate it here.  Hyperlinks exist for a reason.
