ok I have both the latest stable patch to bring 2.6.11 to 2.6.11.6 and 
the rc2 patch, I can just apply the 2.6.11.6 patch to the 2.6.11 source 
and the rc-2 patch to that right?  And is the Debian 2.6.11 tree package 
that installs kernel-source-2.6.11 really different than the 2.6.11 
kernel source from kernel.org?  Or was my prorblem just tryring to apply 
the patch rc2 before the 2.6.11.6 patch?
