you clearly have never heard of love/nitro sources and all the fun we went through back when they were being "actively maintained" being able to download patchsets from the internet, touchup a few lines so they apply without rejects, and releasing the result to the rest of the world deserves no respect/regard ... you've proven you have skills at: - wget - patch - an editor - tar the respect/regard comes when the compiled kernel *actually performs* -mike
