And I just tested this: After proceding as I explained above you can make it to an even newer (4 days, as it seems ... :) kernel version by doing this: Get <http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.12-rc2/2.6.12-rc2-mm2/2.6.12-rc2-mm2.bz2> and apply it to the already patched sources from above: bzip2 -cd ../../2.6.12-rc2-mm2.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run | less bzip2 -cd ../../2.6.12-rc2-mm2.bz2 | patch -p1 Enjoy :) Regards Wolfgang -- Wolfgang Pfeiffer http://profiles.yahoo.com/wolfgangpfeiffer -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
