Eugine, Thanks for the reply. I am not familiar with git and I do not have it installed on my system. I have looked for rpms and tried to build git. It seems that I will need to make a lot of changes to my system to get this going.
In a response from Wolfgang he lists a url which can be used to access his git tree via a browser. I can not find these patch files on his git tree but I was wondering if you made the files available in a similar way. Alternatively can you mail the file to me ? Or can you tell me if the files are somewhere on http://www.denx.de/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?p=linux-2.6-denx.git If not I guess I will just have to get all the bits together to run git and learn how to drive it. Many Thanks Simon.
