Re: patching kernel question



just to be clear ('cause I think you may be getting the patch step
wrong). try something like this:

$ tar xfj linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2
$ cp -rl linux-2.4.20 linux-2.4.21
$ cd linux-2.4.21
$ bzcat ../patch-2.4.21.bz | patch -p1
$ cd ..
$ cp -rl linux-2.4.21 linux-2.4.21-ben2
$ cd linux-2.4.21-ben2
$ bzcat ../patch-2.4.21-ben2.bz | patch -p1 

This will leave you with 3 directories (linux-2.4.0, linux-2.4.21 and
linux-2.4.21-ben2). You can remove the old ones if you want.
