I think this question (and then the 'explanation' in a more recent message) is confusing everyone. I know that I can't make heads or tails from either the question above, or the explanation. Most would find that the "appropriate path to patch the kernel" is to download a kernel tarball (of the desired kernel version), compile it, and install the resulting kernel image. Why mess around with any patches at all? Or am I not getting the drift of your messages? -- Randy rmlscsi: [bogomips 1003.23] [GNU ld version 2.16.1] [gcc (GCC) 4.0.3] [GNU C Library stable release version 2.3.6] [Linux 2.6.14.3 i686] 10:24:00 up 14 days, 20:32, 1 user, load average: 0.01, 0.00, 0.00 -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
