No, patch is a completely different package. Type 'uname -a' to find out what kernel you're running. > Is it possible to install, in principle, for example a 2.6x.. package on a > 2.4x.. kernel (not talking about the fact it is possible IN THIS CASE, but > in general...anyway, if you know if it is possible IN THIS case, why not > say...). It is not possible to install 2.6 kernel modules on 2.4, no. With a few exceptions, packages other than the kernel and modules don't depend too tightly on the kernel version.
