The patches on kernel.org in v2.6/ are already against the base (i.e. patch-2.6.11.6.bz2 is against 2.6.11). The patches in v2.6/incr/ are incremental between -stable releases (i.e. patch-2.6.11.5-6.bz2 is against 2.6.11.5). thanks, -chris - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
