Isn't the standard to apply patches to 2.4.18? Of course one might say that each appended -name is a patch to be applied to the previous part of the name, but then, that would mean -pre9 is a patch to be applied to 2.4.19. :-) Actually, what would be nice is a way to document what each patch is supposed to be applied to. This may have been some of the problems I had with -ac patches a while back when I first tried some. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | Phil Howard - KA9WGN | Dallas | http://linuxhomepage.com/ | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Texas, USA | http://phil.ipal.org/ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
