Well, the trick is to find out what was cjanged to make teh patch no longer work. I've had that problem with Win4Lin patches against the Mandrake kernel. > If the mandrake kernel gurus add something, they should at least support > it.

Have they blocked all _your_ posts or just the ones with "HELP" in it? If so, then just repost, but use less confrontational language and: 1. Tell them what you are trying to do (give them a link to the patch). 2. Tell them how you've done it. 3. Tell them what happened 4. Tell them what steps you've taken to try to solve the problem. 5. Remember that they _owe_ you nothing. Good luck. -- Hoyt http://www.maximumhoyt.com
