Thanks in advance. If you want to become a kernel-hacker, I guess the first task is to learn how to find answers on the 'Net. There are *tons* of info out there, and sooner or later you need to learn how to filter out the important stuff ;) 1) A decent editor 2) git (no, you don't *need* get to start working in the kernel, but if you want to continue, git is a great tool) 3) Get the soruce, either via 2) or from kernel.org 4) Read Changes for a complete list of libraries you need. You are aiming high if you want to start out with implementing a new scheduler from scratch. But if you want to learn how to fly, you need to jump high I guess. Start by looking into include/linux/sched.h and relevant files in kernel (notably sched*.c Best of luck! > Regards, > Abhish -- -> henrik -- To unsubscribe from this list: send an email with "unsubscribe kernelnewbies" to ecartis@xxxxxxxxxxxx Please read the FAQ at http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ
