My Daily epiphany: Linux=Big, Good. My kernel=Small, wtf?

So....I'm back with more junky laziness and boredom and fatigue and....do I need to go on?
Anyway, considering the sheer amount of code in the Linux kernel, it takes a while to go through it. Through out this mind boggling process, I realized something:
Me, about 15 min ago wrote:Getting an acceptable working kernel is going to take frickin' forever!
But, I guess the trick is to ignore that and just work like a good little lemming on his project, and if someone ahead of me falls off a cliff, I'm pretty much screwed.

Anyway, on a side note, I did just getting module support workin' good. Yes, they can load from a file system (initrd, for now) and they can unload too.

How do you think I feel? lol.

I'm a gigantic noob in pretty much every aspect here. I'm only getting into OS Dev because I'd like to learn more about how OS's work deep down by getting my hands dirty and crashing a computer 10 trillion times :P

Well, I actually have an ok kernel right now...not that bad. With some features that are expected. I've gotten passed the basic stage and now am at the 'implement everything' stage.
Interesting, but not as much.
