Get Source Code for Linux

seventhsense · 07-11-2005, 03:47 AM

Dear Everyone,

I am newbie to this forum and I am having one doubt.

How can I view the source code of the linux operating system and how can I modify and upload the same to the GLUE or Linux

Can you let me know?

With Expectations,

Here you have the latest linux, version 2.6.12.2. Extract it and you will have the source code to play with.

If by source code to linux you mean the source code to the linux kernel then this most likely will be included on your distrobutions CD/DVD, otherwise it can be downloaded from here.

I don't really understand what you mean by GLUE for Linux, do you mean you want to change the kernel and re-compile it so that you can use your kernel?

Dear mickyg,

Thanks for your information.

GLUE means Global Linux User's Group (GLUE). Here we can use our modified kernel and made us as part of the coding environment.

I want to add few more features in the linux source code and then i want to compile the same. Then I will keep with myself or release the updated product to open-source. That's what my question. How can I?

Thanks in Advance,
Seventh Sense

eeeeeh strange question actually. If you want to submit change for the linux kernel, you have to subscribe to the mailing list (detail here : http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/docs/lkml/ ).

If you want start a new open source project then it's up to you, you might want to create an account on sourceforge.net. If you want to propose new features to a certain program, you should probably look at the program homepage or to mail the author directly.

What exactly are you searching for?

I think and correct me if I am wrong, do you want to create a linux distro? is that your goal? an OS correct me if I am wrong

The LFS project has all of the links to all of the sources for a basic linux system.

but from the posts above im thinking your meaning just the kernel
