If you don't want to set it up yourself, then you could consider to use the online version at http://lxr.linux.no/ Another good thing is "make ctags" in the kernel source dir - this will let you quickly jump to declarations etc and back with a few simple keystrokes in editors like vim. http://www.faqs.org/docs/ldev/0130091154_64.htm http://applications.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/01/22/167212&tid=13&tid=47 http://cscope.sourceforge.net/cscope_vim_tutorial.html "make cscope" is another good option. It'll generate an index usable by the cscope tool (http://cscope.sourceforge.net/). -- Jesper Juhl Don't top-post http://www.catb.org/~esr/jargon/html/T/top-post.html Plain text mails only, please http://www.expita.com/nomime.html
