I've tried the installation both as user and as root, but all I get is a 
frozen staroffice installation screen.  Everything breaks, no Ctrl+Alt+BkSp 
or Ctrl+Alt+Del ... nothing works.

I recall having it working with 2.0.36, but nothing I can do with
2.2.10.  Since the installation attempts, sometimes, when I quit
X-Window, I get a striped screen and the system freezes (may be
related?).

aphro <nate@firetrail.com> said something about a patch.  How do I apply
a patch to the kernel?  I mean, just by:

# cp patch.x /usr/src/linux/

# cd /usr/src/linux

# patch -p0 <patch.x

(recompile).?

Is 0 the right -pnumber?


TIA
