I really am not sure I know all that. This is where I am confused after
reading your first email. I haven't tried it yet due to this :) I have
never attempted a patch before, so step by step on the three patches would be
a grand assist. I've looked at some of the patch stuff, and it looks like it
will touch several files, and I am asuming that somehow, patch knows how this
works and proceeds. . . If I can do this, I think I will put my own little
howto together for some of the other locals that are in similar situations.
I don't have lilo here, it's grub, and it is completely automatic once I
finish modifying the .config. Then Libranet takes over, does all the
compiling/grub'n and tells me I can boot whenever. . . shrug.. Kinda miss
lilo though :)
I really appreciate the help Jeremy!
Wishing you well.
