I want to learn C and I know there are quite a few programmers on this

over everything from scratch. So if I could get some referrals to a
couple of books I would greatly appreciate it. I am looking for a good
thorough beginners guide to C and also something for the intermediate
programmer as I expect to get through the former in fairly short
order. I ultimately will be directing my efforts at kernel hacking. As
always , any advice and or opinion is gratefully received.

I can't recall if I've seen these already mentioned here or not. My
apologies if I'm repeating. I've never been a big C programmer, but I
did latch on to a couple of books I thought worked well:
Programming in C (Stephen G. Kochan from Hayden Books (Sams))
The C Primer (Les Hancock/Morris Krieger from McGraw-Hill)
My copies of these are from the mid 80's, so I don't know if they are
still published. For reference I go with a lot of the O'Reilly books.
I have the "Practical C Programming" book and the C++ version too. I
thought they read well, but then I used to read (Air Force) tech orders
for fun when I was bored. I'm not exactly what most folks consider
normal 8^)
