Linked Lists in C without malloc

#include <stdio.h>

typedef struct node
{
      int i;
      struct node *next;
}node;

node getnode(int a)
{
      struct node n;
      n.i=a;
      n.next=NULL;
      return n;
}

main()
{
     int i;
     node newtemp,root,temp;

     scanf("%d",&i);
     root=getnode(i);
     temp=root;

     while(i--)
     {
         newtemp=getnode(i);

         temp.next=&newtemp;
         if(root.next==NULL)
         {
            root=temp;
         }
        temp=*(temp.next);
     }


     temp=root;

     while( temp.next != NULL )
     {
         printf(" %d ",temp.i);
         temp=*(temp.next);
     }
}

I am trying to create a linked-list without using malloc. The programming is printing only the root and no nodes following it. I couldn`t find the bug. Had there been any memory issue, the gcc compiler would have thrown a segmentation fault.(?) Please ignore the poor programming style..
