Neil, (a) Should I download the vanilla 3.18.1 kernel sources and apply all the gentoo-sources tar-ball patches in numerical order??
(b) I tried downloading the vanilla 3.18.8 kernel. But of course the earlier gentoo-sources 3.18.1 - 3.18.6 patches don't apply cleanly... Will I get to the same place if I ignore these?? Or should I go with option (a) :-) Thanks On 31 March 2015 at 12:00, Neil Bothwick <n...@digimed.co.uk> wrote: > On Tue, 31 Mar 2015 09:51:11 +0100, Bob Wya wrote: > > lease don't top-post, it is frowned upon on this list, and for good > reason. > > > Simply changing the ebuild version to 3.18.1 doesn't work.
