So if you are using the 2.4.16 kernel as a base, you would need the patches marked with '2.4.17' and 'submitted'. If you use 2.4.10, you need '2.4.12', '2.4.13', '2.4.15', '2.4.17' and 'submitted'. Et cetera. (I did it this way because some people, especially from the far east it seems, have this natural urge to use old kernel versions for some reason, and subsequently complain to me if it breaks.) > Alternatively, > If I use the stock kernel source that came with RH 7.2, can > I just build the kernel with the netfilter, bridge stuff turned > on then RPM install the kernel-2.4.9-13brnf0.0.4.i686.rpm file? Not really; you would have to add the patch before you build the RPM, which involves hacking .spec files and such. Why don't you just use the provided RPM? cheers, Lennert _______________________________________________ Bridge mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.leidenuniv.nl/mailman/listinfo/bridge
