I tried e-mailing you directly - but it gets bounced back with errors.
How can I contact you directly (another e-mail address?)
I applied the patch and tried to compile a new kernel, but got errors
and the compile failed (see snip below)
The question is - after a fresh install - do I need to do a "make
mrproper" before I begin - or just start with "make deps"
I also did no do the "make xconfig" step assuming that it's already
configured.
Here's the snip:
