Actually I wanted to hack on hardware I don't have so that you guys could test it, but your idea seems good as well. Just kidding, of course I'll check first what HW I have laying around; then I play with it. By now I'm developing in VirtualBox, doing the Eudyptula challenge. I think it's the most convenient option so far. And thanks for answering me. I almost thought my question was too stupid/naive to be answered. _______________________________________________ Kernelnewbies mailing list Kernelnewbies@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.kernelnewbies.org/mailman/listinfo/kernelnewbies
