Yes, the sequence is important. If you want to end up with
linux-2.4.0-test6-rmk6-np1 you should use the following procedure:
- Untar linux-2.4.0-test6.tar.bz2:
tar Ixvf linux-2.4.0-test6.tar.bz2
(of course you can also patch a previous test5 kernel)
- cd linux
- Apply Russel's patch:
gzip -dc ../patch-2.4.0-test6-rmk6.gz | patch -p1
- Apply Nico's patch:
gzip -dc ../diff-2.4.0-test6-rmk6-np1.gz | patch -p1
