How do I download ReactOS Kernel Source code.

[kittyhacker101]

I know how to download ReactOS Source Code, but how do you download the kernel? I just need the kernel source code, nothing else (I am using this for a project, because Windows_NT is closed source).

How about just downloading everything and then deleting all which is not Kernel source code? Is it really that hard to figure out?

Ehh, as Darkstar said, you'll get the entire ReactOS source code. Just find the kernel source code in there. Problem solved.

The kernel is under reactos/ntoskrnl in their SVN repo. You can directly check out that subfolder only, if bandwidth actually is an issue for you.

For very complex reasons, I can not download all of the source code at the same time.
I would like a way to download a 1/6 and then just remove everything else, but I can not download more than 5/6 of the source code at a time before I start getting problems with my network timing out.

In case you really can't figure this out on your own ..., get a file download application (e.g. Free Download Manager) that can resume download if your connection fails often; or alternatively, as pittical pointed out, just check out the ntoskrnl directory under the ReactOS SVN repository ...

The ntoskrnl directory doesn't have all of the source code (I tried compiling it) and I have a bad computer that is very unreliable and applications can crash without warning.

D'Oh. Of course you cannot compile the kernel subdirectory without the other required files in other directories. You never said you wanted to compile it, you said you just needed the source code for a project.

If you want to compile it you need the whole reactos/ tree. But if your computer is so unstable you probably won't be able to compile it anyway. I don't know what you want us to say to you here, or how you think we could help you...

You need to check out an svn build with the React OS Build Environment. The command: ssvn create should work for you. If for whatever reason you don't want to see the rest of the source for the OS, then I would recommend make a copy of the folder first once you have it downloaded, find the ntoskrnl folder, and drag it out. If your system is crashing a lot, try to reinstall the OS, or check for hardware damage; something isn't right and needs replaced. Hope this helps and good luck.

Just wondering, why do you need the ReactOS kernel specifically? Why not for example Linux (http://www.kernel.org)? It's a quite popular and well documented kernel (See Linux from Scratch http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/)
