No. If you're using Linux kernel 2.6.17.15mdv for i586, you want that kernel source (from Mandriva, and with Mandriva patches) to compile a new driver for your system. Here: kernel-source-2.6.17.15mdv

yeah, i'm ok. i mean i havn't done qeues or binary trees or anything, but i get the giest of it.

up till now i've been using the linux system calls for file and dir manipultaion.

i've written a program to turn hex into binary and to turn a decimal to hex and binary

upto a double word. I can post it if you want to see it.

 

the reason i want to write modules is to get closer to my system.

too learn more about it.

i mean the kernel is the core right, if i want to get to know linux is'nt that where i want

to be.

I feel a little in the dark using c and the system calls, when i can be closer.

 

granted i'm still learn'n the commands for the terminal
