That *really* depends on exactly what part of the kernel the developer is<br class="gmail_msg">
working on. If you're monkeying with the IPv6 code in the networking<br class="gmail_msg">
stack, or adding new features to btrfs, all you need is any system that<br class="gmail_msg">
can support a network connection or a disk.<br class="gmail_msg">
<br class="gmail_msg">
But if you're trying to cram a Linux kernel onto specific new hardware,<br class="gmail_msg">
how are you going to test the drivers without at least access to the hardware?<br class="gmail_msg">
You may not need the hardware yourself, but at the very least you will need<br class="gmail_msg">
somebody who *does* have the hardware and is willing/able to test for you.<br class="gmail_msg"></blockquote></div><div><br></div><div>Thank you for your reply.</div><div><br>I'm able to send patch using sendmail and git, which you have seen yesterday "initest".</div><div>I'm able to apply patch using git-am.
