Is there a page anywhere (if not, there should be one) or info on what
type of patches are added to a debianized kernel and where to find them.
Another user on this list was also having trouble compiling a 2.4.23
kernel which needed an initrd and thus the cramfs patch. I tried searching
for this patch but i haven't found where it resides.
I looked using google and checked the /usr/share/doc/kernel-source dir but
didn't find anything useful.
So there are some possibilities:
1. Either this info just isn't there because you don't need cramfs
   for an initrd
2. The info is missing but you need the cramfs patch
3. I'm blind or don't know how to look for info :)
