I was thinking in terms of doing kernel hacking on native hardware,
however you're right that there are other alternatives here, including
a serial console on native hardware perhaps. I'm not
sure about qemu, it would depend on whether qemu can run using
a text interface, where speakup on the host system could read
screen output, as is the case with bochs, and dosemu. Kernel hacking could
definitely be done using user-mode linux, with speakup reading the
screen on the host system, however, user-mode linux isn't strictly the
same as a regular linux kernel, so it would depend on what kind of
hacking one wants to do.

I wasn't asking because I want to hack the kernel, not right now
anyway, but as a matter of clarification. Thanks.

Greg
