So finally just a few hours before the closing date for the applications for GSoc , i have submitted my project Application for YUM Rollback Utility to The Fedora and Jboss project, truly speaking i am not actually very sure whether the applications are still accepted or if the time is already up.

Was history ! :)

This blog represents a part of my undergraduate life when I was extremely active. The blog contains about 59 posts and excluding the previous one all the others were written in a span of 6 months ranging from Jan 2008 - June 2008. Which just tells how active I was in those days, and these were times when the Wi-Fi at campus was still in the planning phase and I was using internet over my GPRS enabled ancient Nokia 7610 (using wvdial + rfcomm over bluetooth).

I will follow this post with a series of posts on using Linux for the common user.

I actually wanted to write a kernel installer , which would work like this , .... nothing related to the kernel is involved in the functioning of the installer , here is how it would go step by step .... : ask for the kernel archive file .(or may be just ask for the patch file and do the rest as same after applying the patch ). process the available config techniques based on the presence of libraries (like make gconfig, make menuconfig , make xconfig, ... etc) ask the user to choose the config technique give the option for the user to load the .config file from the installed kernel and then compile the kernel , the progress being shown in a display window and then complete the installation and ask the user to reboot to use the new kernel i just got this idea, .... does a tool like this already exist, ... or would it be worth it , to develop so
