If you are, I've spent the last year writing one. I may not be what you
want, it's more intended to be a 5000' view rather than an internals
manual. It's what I would have like to have read _before_ I started hacking
the kernel in that it details the data structures and algorithms.
The latest version is on gatekeeper.dec.com in
~ftp/pub/Digital/Linux-Alpha/Miniloader/docs/TheLinuxKernel. It is (like Linux)
Copylefted and the sources (LaTex) are available. Right now it is (or will be)
in review. Rather than deluge me, please sign up for review. I'm happy
(actually pathetically glad) of review comments.

It's like all clubs I've ever belonged to. A small proportion do all the work,
the large proportion of members are happy and satisfied and a small proportion
whinge no matter what you do.
David, please do the pre-31 (3) work and then lets turn this over to the LMP
for buffing up. Then you and the other good hacker folks can do what you
really wanna do: versions 2.1/2.2.
Dave
