Hi, I'm trying to build linux kernel for version 2.6.24 on a machine running suse. so i downloaded the kernel soruces and patches from : ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/<ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.26.tar.bz2>
I've downloaded following two compressed files: linux-2.6.24.tar.bz2 patch-2.6.24.bz2 After uncompressing and making symlink as ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.24 /usr/src/linux I gave a dry run for patches as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ] cd /usr/src/linux [EMAIL PROTECTED] /usr/src/linux ] # bzip2 -dc /usr/src/patch-2.6.24.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run patching file .gitignore Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n] Seems that it found already applied patches, so what should i provide as answer to the above querry(Assume -R? [n] ) , i gave "Y" as answer and then again there was similar question for several other files . so is there any way to be able to overwrite the already applied patches non interactively(i mean without answering the same question for other files as well) ? ~amit -- "Everyone has a photographic memory.
