Kernel Patching advice needed.
I am attempting to "patch" a copy of linux-2.4.18 all the way to
2.4.19-rc1. I have a question based on my lack of experience. I started
by applying the 1st. patch...no problems. I then applied the 2nd patch
and immediatel got a message saying it had encountered either a reversed
or previously patched file. It asked if I wanted to patch -R the patch
and/or apply anyway. I answered all of these using the default [n] and
everything seemed to go O.K. What I got to thinking about was "what if
someone wrote a patch for an already patched file. So my question is; Do
I need to answer all of thes questions in the affirmative? default[n] Y
Any advice is appreciated as there is not a lot of docummentation on
this.
