Sorry for the "read receipts", I will try to avoid them. ============================================ I do the command below as the FAQ advised.
zcat patch-X.X.XX.gz | patch -p0 -E But get the following results... ======================================================= [EMAIL PROTECTED] src]# zcat patch-2.4.20ctx-17 | patch -p0 -E zcat: patch-2.4.20ctx-17: not in gzip format [EMAIL PROTECTED] src]# zcat patch-2.4.20ctx-17.gz | patch -p0 -E can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |diff -rc2P linux-2.4.20/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S linux-2.4.20ctx-17/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S |*** linux-2.4.20/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S 2002-12-09 10:31:24.000000000 -0500 |--- linux-2.4.20ctx-17/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S 2003-03-29 21:13:24.000000000 -0500 -------------------------- File to patch: ======================================================= Is it asking for the file name of the running kernel or something else? Also, I find vservers start ok even without the patch installed. Is it essential to apply the patch?
