Isn't that a nice and simple +way to write a character driver? + +Just when you think this challenge is all about writing kernel code, +this task is a throwback to your second one. Yes, that's right, +building kernels. Turns out that's what most developers end up doing: +tons and tons of rebuilds, not writing new code. Sad, but it is a good +skill to know. + +The task this round is: + - Download the linux-next kernel for today. Or tomorrow, just use + the latest one. It changes every day so there is no specific one + you need to pick. Build it. Boot it. Provide proof that you built + and booted it. + +What is the linux-next kernel? Ah, that's part of the challenge. + +For a hint, you should read the excellent documentation about how the +Linux kernel is developed in Documentation/development-process/ in the +kernel source itself. It's a great read, and should tell you all you +never wanted to know about what Linux kernel developers do and how they +do it. + +As always, please respond to this challenge with your id. I know you +know what it is. I'll not even include it this time, I trust you. +Don't make me feel that is a mistake.
