Android relies on Linux version 2.6 for core system services such as security, memory management, process management, network stack, and driver model. The kernel also acts as an abstraction layer between the hardware and the rest of the software stack.
"codecs, functions for the presentation of rich graphics on a small displays, secure shell support for encrypted TCP/IP traffic into the cloud, component support for Web browsing , SQL database functionality , and standard C library functionality ."

I am having a source code of an operating system ( with all kernel files and drivers and other software codes)
I want make its installable version by installing it through cd
by making installation cd
Please reply me
Its very urgent
Do it – the way all OS’s do it.
Create a bootable cd or dvd – with a minimum OS – capable of copying the files into place… and creating a "bootstrap" on the hard drive.
If you’re going to be doing HARDWARE INDEPENDENT drivers – you’re going to have to come up with some process like microsoft’s "HAL.EXE" – where you interrogate the devices and supply the MINI-DRIVERS for them.
As a person who has actually participated in a team which built OS’s – It’s a LOT MORE COMPLICATED than it may seem on the surface.
However… break the task into SMALL BITES – and deal with them one by one… until they’re all done.
Good luck.
I recently got Kapersky Internet Security software, and it has never actively informed me of their being any problems, but just out of curiousity I opened the software and it said that there had been 2 threats, "Kernel Patch Memory Mode". i looked this up, and no one said it was anything too bad so I just ignored it.
Today when I opened the software to update it, the number of "riskware"s had gone up to four, and apparently this had occured as soon as I turned my laptop on. What is this? Is it dangerous, or does the fact that it hadn’t alerted me about these "riskwares" mean that it has already dealt with them?
help please someone, I don’t really understand what a "kernel mode memory patch" is, after researching it.
During the application installation you can select the protection mode. Two modes are available
which are Automatic and interactive…. did you choose interactive as most choose automatic which
means KIS deal with everything in the recommended manner.
This can be changed if required….which lets KIS decide what to do when an event happens.
http://support.kaspersky.com/kis2010/tech?qid=208280386
I have started with the above as in the link below it says …….If the interactive mode is enabled in the Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 settings and in the Proactive Defense component settings the Prompt for action option is selected (the option is available only in versions from 9.0.0.736), then in some cases the Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 dialog window that will inform you about suspicious activity may appear. The process will be detected as Process (PID: 0): kernel mode memory patch………….and it goes on to say the following……
Keyloggers may send your personal information (logins, passwords, credit card numbers) you enter using your keyboard to a cyber criminal. HOWEVER, similar actions can be performed not only by malicious programs, but also by some other not malicious applications installed on your computer. Very often these actions are performed by means of hotkeys to access some functions of an application installed on your computer.
The process kernel mode memory patch (PID: 0) is not malicious. You can add this process to the exclusions list by clicking Add to exclusions and How to do that can be seen in the link below.
This appears nothing to worry about ….Just KIS being Pedantic.
What you find under detected threats is not as important as what is under ACTIVE THREATS.

Does they kiss their mothers with those mouths?
1. Most programmers swear. They complain about hardware, other software, or their fellow developers. This serves as a distraction so that other will be less likely to notice the mistakes they themselves make. It’s not exclusive to the Linux kernel, either:
http://codeulate.com/2007/12/fcking-programming/
http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/2/15/71552/7795
2. It is very unlikely they kiss their mothers. They never leave their basements, and their mothers are usually in their sixties or older, so they can’t safely go down the steps.

Okay, I admit I did something really stupid.
I’ve set up a live USB stick for Puppy linux. I decided to test out the persistence feature (complete with password and "Heavy" encryption). Everything runs perfectly up to this point. computer shuts off. I turn it back on and puppy starts unpacking itself. Everything is good.
So this is what I do:
Instead of just typing in my password I decide to drop to console.
I then realized I’m nowhere near being a developer and have no experience with the LINUX comandline–I guess windows experience doesn’t help…
I know NO commands for linux. I type "help". This doesn’t work, so I’m a little worried. I don’t know how to shut everything down properly from here.
So like a total n00b I entered the "exit" command. I’m met with this:
"Kernel panic – not syncing: Attempted to kill init!"
Here it just stops. Can I just press the power button without hurting anything? Will this damage my computer or the usb drive/files on usb?
Try this:
Hold the ALT+PrintScreen keys on your keyboard, and type:
REISUB (An easy way to remember this is it’s "Busier" spelled backwards)
If that doesn’t work, then just press the power button.
It shouldn’t harm your computer since the hard drive probably isn’t mounted or being written to.
There is a chance it can screw up files on your USB drive (Most likely the Puppy save file)
Also, to shut down your computer from the command line, do this:
shutdown -h now
Or to reboot:
shutdown -r now
These should also work:
poweroff
reboot

I just got Absolute-linux (http://www.absolutelinux.org/) and it says its based off Slackware.
and i see wine (http://www.winehq.org/download/) that i want.
well I’m a noob with Linux, JUST got the thing installed on an old computer because I finally bought a little 100gb HDD at a garage sale. Anyways, as far as the Wine programing goes, i see Ubuntu and Debian, Redhat, SUSE, all of which are gibberish to me sorta. Is there wine availability for the Linux kernel I have, or will Ubuntu just be better?
I’ve heard Ubuntu is one of the leading "user friendly" ones, that still has advanced options for later. So without giving me a lecture on who is better, unless you feel I’m miss informed in which case please message me, here is what I’d plan to do with the computer.
games: such as world of warcraft (which is why wine is sorta needed) as well as step-mania (stepmania.com its a DDR game thing) as well as more modern games once i upgrade the system, like COD:MW and Diablo3 and such.
web browsing, and iTunes, burning MP3s and such.
i been a long time windows user, so it be great for wine to let me use a lot of the same programs I’m familiar with, although i know not all will work. So back to the OP, which wine do i use?
no its not at all i want windows – its that a few of my most common used programs are windows ones. id say a good 80% of the rest will be linux or Compiled apps and such. Just trying a new Kernal and w/e.
Give the Super OS a try. It is based on ubuntu with many addons already installed like Wine.
It is therefore larger than the "normal" ubuntu and must be burned to a dvd not a cd.
I would also suggest that you note the info that is presented during the install, and after install click on the blue question mark for help .
Good luck
Hi,
I want to buy RedHat Linux 5.1, but the nearby store has REDHAT CENTOS 5.4 VER. Is there any difference between them? I want the kernel to be 2.6.16+? Can i buy?
Thanks
Thanks
CentOS is a free rebuild of Redhat Linux.
As Linux is GPL it means anything Redhat develope must be released as source code which other people can then Compile which is where groups like Cent OS come from.
CentOS is a fairly stable OS, If your just stuffing around then give it a shot. it is free to download and i probably would not pay more than $ 10 for a DVD.
RedHat Linux is free software because of the GPL, However the Red Hat charges a service fee for providing support and a download of the product. Without paying the support charge i dont believe you can download it. costs about $150 last i looked.
Cent OS pretty Much = Red Hat

Okay so I have been having some issues with my computer. I was getting many data kernel error pages or blue screens. Well now I just purchased PC Doc Pro (McAfee secure). Will this fix my computer issues? When I run the scan I still get repeated problems for "empty Keys"? I am not computer savvy, so I do not know what this means and I am hoping someone can tell me (either what my options are or if this will help)…….THANKS!
Could be a problem with device drivers, hardware or software. This problem can be solved by uninstalling new software, updating device drivers and making minor configuration changes . From http://fixit.in/bluescreenofdeath.html . You can also run a free registry scan using utilities from http://re7.info
after start the kernel loads but don`t logon it was done when i turned off my user acount and after restart many explorer stop working windows open and again restart but till then can`t logon F8 options are 1repair 2insert dvd repair option returns error now PLZ tell me how can i get back my data remain my vista home premium original ? waiting…..
F10 dosen`t work after startup graphics a blue screen apears and again restarting .is installing vista basic or xp(available) over this os can help with my intentions?
i have no installation disk nor made it using recovery creation :<
Try the system recovery which is F10 when the computer first turns on. It will be on the HP screen. If your recovery partition is there it will boot to it and reload windows.
2nd: Call who made the PC (HP or Dell) and ask them for restoration discs. It’ll cost around $30. As long as you can get into BIOS and change the boot order it will restore your software (windows OS, D partition, and drivers) for that PC.
Call 800-BUY-MYHP
I am doing a McAfee scan right now. I find there is three items detected. They are quarantied at the moment. There is three options, Remove, Restore (fix infected file) or Send to McAfee to examine. It is called:
1)
Detection name: Artemis!98808CB47DF4
File: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\TouchSmart\Media\Kernel\DMP\CLAudSpa.ax
Process: C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe
Process description: Windows installer
2)
Detection name: Artemis!7D771BACDDD8
File: C:\Program Files\Hewlett-Packard\TouchSmart\Media\Kernel\DMP\clauts.ax
Process: C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe
Process description: Windows installer
What should I do, should I: Remove, Restore (Repairs ?) or McAfee Examine the files.
Is Artemis! normally fake by any chance ?
Some people say it’s nothing ?
Please can you help me ?
Today, I have sent the Artemis! items to McAfee and I put a comment on the forum. What does a legitimate mean ?
I’m only a teenager. Yep I will probably restore the files. Can I restore a ‘DATA1.CAB (C:\SWSETUP\SP43648\DATA1.CAB) ?
Should I RESTORE all the files ? I will do a full scan again. I think that Artemis! are fakes. Why?
I restored them but they multiply like mad, I might as well remove them instead. I just restored them and it multiplied it. So what should I do ?
basically, I restored it. I did a scan, and the artemis multiplyed, so I think I will have to remove it.
