Re: a newbie with the kernel--a few questions

[sena seneviratne <auntvini@cel.usyd.edu.au>]

Hi,

I have done some kernel programming with the kernel 2.4.19 and implemented 
some features which are required by some of our research projects.

(1) The first thing is you have to be good in C programming.

(2) Then you should know what you would like to do. Whether it would be an 
addition of new feature? or an improvement?

(3)At this place kernel code is available for cross-referencing and 
learning etc
 http://lxr.linux.no/source/

(4) You can download kernel from http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/

What is your objective?

Thanks
