Hi All:

I am patching my kernel (Mandrake 8.0, 2.4.3 kernel, wanting to go to
2.4.13 and higher as they become available).  Patch 2.4.11 is labeled as
patch-2.4.11-dont-use.  Can I skip this patch and go on with 2.4.12?  I
thought they had to be applied in numerical order?

Second question is, when I run the command "gzip -dc
/path/to/patch-2.4.4.gz | patch -pl" I get the message "strip count 1 is
not option".  I think this was the message, my optical prescription is
not as good as it was.

I have to say that the documentation regarding where things are on the
system, and how to do things like upgrade kernels or patch kernels, is
not near what I would like to see.  And, yes, I would like a
step-by-step, hold my hand, walk through type of instruction </rant>
Peace, Dennis in Victoria
