Good listers,
Please help a newbie install a kernel patch. I know I'm close, but I'm
getting confused..
I'm running RH 5.2 with kernel 2.2.1 (does that make it _almost_ RH6 ?, what
are the differences ??). I downloaded patch-2.2.2.gz and moved it into
/usr/src. Using gunzip, I get patch-2.2.2 (no suprises so far)..
Then using 'patch -i patch-2.2.2' I get the following messages
[begin output from 'patch -i patch-2.2.2 &> oops]
can't find file to patch at input line 4Perhaps you should have used the -p or
--strip option?The text leading up to this was:--------------------------|diff

I've read the man pages but I still don't get it.. PLEASE help. What am I
doing wrong ?
Thanks in advance..
