why?? why avoid the fun part?
btw, using a hex editor to modify the image of the kernel won't do, since
what you need is to actually modify the kernel's memory, not the kernel's
image only (some variables might be initialized during runtime, and not
statically in the BSS part of the image).
i'd say - learn how to program, and write a module that does that. if
you'll want to go over that path, we'll soon have a lecture at the haifa
linux club that deals with something similar.
as for the normal kerlen, it allows to you change _certain_ kernal
variables by writing to /proc file system files. if you are VERY lucky -
these include the variables you want to change.
