[Mailinglist] driver devolopment

[Steven Joseph]

I suggest that u start googling on the subject and learn all that u come 
across ... there are a lot of online tutorials where u can get help for 
kernel development ... u could start at www.tldp.org then there's 
kernel.org ... there are a plethora of such articles .... 
but the best documentation u can get is the code ....

download the oldest version of linux ... the original one written by Linus ... 
its simple and easier to understand.... compile and run in a vm

now for testing u'll need an virtualization software like vmware or xen. For 
that u can use Suse 10.1 which has virtualization built in .... so debugging 
will be easier.
