No, this is not correct. No worries though as this is a great way to learn how we can improve the documentation :-) With "Preparation" I meant paragraph 4.2.1 and you don't need to follow 4.1. Also worth noting is that command prefixed by `#` should be done as root, but the commands prefixed by `$` should be done as (normal) user. So this is what you need to do: # apt-get install build-essential fakeroot # apt-get build-dep linux While we're 'root', do this too: # apt-get install devscripts And then (as user): $ apt-get source linux $ cd linux-6.1.20 If you then do ``ls -lh`` you will see a ``debian`` directory. So now you can run this: $ bash debian/bin/test-patches <path-to-the-patch-file> And now it should build a patched kernel for you. > If it is correct, in what order to do the patches (debian patches and > the revert patch)? When you look at the output of the ``apt-get source linux`` you'll see it download the linux source code and (automatically) applies the debian patches which are always applied when building a debian kernel. This is excluding the patch I send earlier, but that gets applied when you run the ``bash debian/bin/test-patches`` command. HTH, Diederik
