[vox] Fwd: Programmng the Kernel...

[Jeff Newmiller]

You may be overthinking this task. Recompiling the kernel doesn't need all those books... There are plenty of online howtos that cover recompiling. You don't need a kernel driver to start a userland program, either. You should be looking at a book on embedded linux. If you have custom hardware for which no drivers exist then you might need to write a driver.
