Hi all, here is just a small patch on the books XMLs which deals with the kernel. When upgrading to a new kernel patch level (e.g. 2.6.24 --> 2.6.24.1) the book forces us to download the full kernel package (which is 46 MB) while just a few days ago we allready have downloaded the base version. With this modification I introduce the usage of the patch-x.y.z.p.bz2 files provided on kernel.org which is a patch on the base version. In the current status, it is just 16.6K, much less in size than the full tarball.
What do you think about this one? -- Thomas
