linux内核学习(2)继续翻译...

　　linux内核2010-12-13 21:37:42阅读20评论0 字号：大中小 订阅 之前我将～/README文件给粗略的翻译了一下，果真阿，通过阅读，我发现效果不错哦～。README文件中有这段文字：

　　There are various README files in the Documentation/ subdirectory:

　　these typically contain kernel-specific installation notes for some

　　drivers for example. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what

　　is contained in each file. Please read the Changes file, as it

　　contains information about the problems, which may result by upgrading

　　your kernel.

　　在每个子目录下面都有README文件，包含来内核安装的提示，比如某些驱动。看一下“Documentation/00-INDEX”

　　这个子目录，里面列出来每个文件。

　　于是我跟着进去找到它“~/Documentation/00-INDEX“。果不其然，这个文件是一个“全局”文件，里面描述了Documentation目录下面的这些文件所干嘛的，起码了解了一部分吧！感觉不错。。。继续翻译，没有什么好法子的，和我预期的一样。英文也是阅读源代码的一个坎啊，不过，我们一起努力。因为我们都抱有一颗好奇的心，因为我们的年纪还不算太晚，加油吧兄弟姐妹们。

　　来自linux-2.6.36.2/Documentation/00-INDEX：

　　This is a brief list of all the files in ./linux/Documentation and what

　　they contain. If you add a documentation file, please list it here in

　　alphabetical order as well, or risk being hunted down like a rabid dog.

　　Please try and keep the descriptions small enough to fit on one line.
