>How do I tell it it has the correct info - just apply the patches?
use the -p option. When I patch kernels, i either patch -p0 <
file.patch or patch -p1 < file.patch
The value says how much of the path to trim, ie, for a patch for
linux/include/linux, -p0 will use the whole path, -p1 will use
include/linux
Am I making sense?
Look at the first line of the patch, it should say where it thinks it's
going to patch to. If it matches your kernel tree, then use -p0 in thr
directory that contains that path. If the first directory in the path
is linux-2.2.x/ or somethign that you don't have, cd to your linux
directory and use -p1 with the patch.
I'm still not sure I'm making sense :)

No, I was looking for warez. The pornography was just a useful byproduct.
