I have RH5.0 with the standard kernel (2.0.32) and I feel confident
enough to patch it up to "35" so I can get FAT32 support (I know 34 will
give me this, but since I have to apply 33 and 34 anyway I may as well
do 35 while I'm at it).
I downloaded the patches (patch-2.0.33.gz etc) and copied them to my
/usr/src/ directory as guided by the howto. I su'ed to root and issued
the command "xcat patch-2.0.33.gz | patch -p0", again as guided by the
howto (note: I am not at my Linux box at the moment so all this is from
memory so please don't flame me for not memorising the commands
exactly). Anyway, I got an error message and the patch wasn't applied.
I'm concerned that I'm working from the wrong directory so I'll check
this first. So my questions are:-
What directory should I copy the patch files to? Currently they're in
/usr/src/.
What directory do I need to be in to issue the commands? I followed the
howto and I'm in /usr/src/, but the wording wasn't perfectly clear to
me.
Many thanks,
Martin
