Yes, but this document is about the official final patches Linus and Alan release for 2.2.x and 2.4.x, not about arbitrary kernel patches that are available. Later, David S.

You probably have done: gzip -dc linux-2.4.XX.tar.gz | tar zvf - cd linux gzip -dc patchXX.gz | patch -p0 which will fail since the patch file specifies all files with a path starting with 'linux/'.
