Re: How do you apply an 'ac' patch?
Hi Morbo to apply a patch to a kernel source tree change to /usr/src and
either gzip -d <patch.gz> or bunzip2 <patch.bz2> and then do:
patch-p0 <patch
If your applying a patch from Alan make a link from linux.ac to linux by
doing:
ln -s linux linux.ca
before applying his patches.
