11.1 Author

The author and maintainer of the Linux Kernel-HOWTO is Brian Ward (ward@blah.tu-graz.ac.at). Please send me any comments, additions, corrections, or computers. Corrections are, in particular, the most important to me. You can look at my `home page' at one of these URLs:

Even though I try to be attentive as possible with mail, please remember that I get a lot of mail per day, so it may take a little time to get back to you. Especially when emailing me with a question, please try extra hard to be clear and detailed in your message. I do not care if you ask simple questions; remember, if you don't ask, you may never get an answer! I'd like to thank everyone who has given me feedback.

Version -0.1 was written on October 3, 1994; this document is available in SGML, PostScript, TeX, roff, and plain-text formats.

11.2 To do

The ``Tips and tricks'' section is a little small. I hope to expand on it with suggestions from others.

So is ``Additional packages.''

More debugging/crash recovery info needed.
