<html><head></head><body>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.<br>

The message I got was that it exceeded the allowable size limit, and was placed in queueu for moderator approval.
I didn't realize my cut-n-paste from Amazon that, unfortunately, included the graphics would cause any problems.
Sorry.
THANKS.
