I have the source for 2.2.0-pre2 and all the patches up to pre9. When I try to apply these patches with patch-kernel, I just get the result Current kernel version is 2.2.0 I assume this is because the patch-kernel script won't handle the 'preX' suffix. It there a patch anywhere for the patch script? Bob ---- Bob Nielsen Internet: nielsen@primenet.com Tucson, AZ AMPRnet: w6swe@w6swe.ampr.org DM42nh http://www.primenet.com/~nielsen
