A query regarding kernel programming, very small

[Shyam Iyengar]

hi,
        i would like to know what exactly is meant by
kernel development. Is it only about making drivers.
       I am in a big fix and i am searching the net
for the last 5 hours without a hint.
         Do send me the reply as fast as possible.
Thanking you

driver development is a part of kernel development. Kernel is a bigger
entity which contains scheduler, io subsystem, memory subsystem etc....
Drivers comes under the IO subsystem.

I think the confusion stems from the fact that with some operating systems
(like OS/2), drivers are not considered part of the kernel, but with Linux (and
possibly some others), drivers are considered part of the kernel.
