Hi Nick, > I've downloaded the source for kernel 2.4.20 from kernel.org.

I know the openssl-mppe patch is for PPTP functionality and the bridge-nf is some kind of unusual bridging patch. By looking at the source or using google you can probably find out what the other two are fairly quickly. > I assume that I apply all of these to the 2.4.20 source that I've > obtained? Is that correct? I guess I'm a little confused as some > of these patches appear to be for 2.4.19... Usually when you see older versions in a "CURRENT" directory it means the patches will apply cleanly to the current. So in this case I would assume the 2.4.19's will apply against 2.4.20. > Once I've done all that, I'm also assuming that I can use the > precompiled modules for 2.4.20 without having to worry about > recompiling them too. yes, AFAIK. if you have problems you can always make modules and replace the problem modules with ones from your specific build. > Could someone let me know if I'm way off track here? AFAIK you're ok.. you're pretty much doing what I did and it worked for me. Hopefully we're not both off track. ;) P ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: SlickEdit Inc. Develop an edge.
