I'm almost positive they are in the kernel source rpm. (Possibly in a specfile?). It has been a few years, but I have previously installed the kernel source rpm and gotten it to compile/install. Then patched in a few other patches. It was not too difficult of a process. OTOH, I suspect extracting all the patches and then applying them to a newer kernel might be a fairly major effort. ie. You will likely get lots of rejects that have to manually applied. I would not venture there unless you know for sure that the factory team is not going to release a 2.6.23 kotd, etc. Greg -- Greg Freemyer Litigation Triage Solutions Specialist http://www.linkedin.com/in/gregfreemyer The Norcross Group The Intersection of Evidence & Technology http://www.norcrossgroup.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
