I can't help (yet) on the kernel patching part, but I find this comment quite interesting. :)

This is what I do on slackware, because basically AFAIK and IIRC, slackware always uses a vanilla kernel. I might do experimentation with openmosix as part of my study, and I'll let the list know how that's going along... Now I think in Debian, you could "debianize" the kernel that you've already patched, and then dpkg -i the resulting .deb. However, I haven't actually tried this yet. :) -- -=[mikhail]=- aka Dean Michael C.
