This is as simple as I could make it,
without getting hung up on the meaning of the word "simple".

/* BEGIN list_linked.c */

#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>

int 
main(void)
{
    struct list {
        struct list         *next;
        int                  data;
    };
    struct list *head;
    struct list *tail;
    int number[] = {15,14,13,7,20,9,8,12,11,6};
    unsigned index;

    puts("/* BEGIN list_linked.c output */\n");
    puts("Original order of list of int:");    
    head = malloc(sizeof *head);
    tail = head;
    if (tail != NULL) {
        index = 0;
        tail -> data = number[index];
        while (sizeof number / sizeof *number > ++index) {
            tail -> next = malloc(sizeof *(tail -> next));
            if (tail -> next == NULL) {
                puts("malloc trouble!");
                break;
            }
            tail = tail -> next;
            tail -> data = number[index];
        }
        tail -> next = NULL;
    } else {
        puts("malloc trouble!");
    }
    for (tail = head; tail != NULL; tail = tail -> next) {
        printf("%d\n", tail -> data);
    }
    while (head != NULL) {
        tail = head -> next;
        free(head);
        head = tail;
    }
    puts("\n/* END list_linked.c output */");
    return 0;
}

/* END list_linked.c */
