Sometime on Feb 23, Mayuresh Kathe assembled some asciibets to say:
> download all the *patches* above 2.4.7 upto 2.4.17, put them all in the

> (remember to put all the patches in .gz format, .bz2 would bust up the
then why use the patch-kernel script? does one really require a script
to do this:
bzcat patchname | patch -p0
I would think that scripts would be used to combine more than one task
into a single command, not translate one command to another name. Or is
this world just getting so stupid that we will soon need scripts that
say "show_me_directory_listing" and contain:
#!/bin/sh
ls
then, we'd get a dummy's book that teaches people in ten easy steps how
to use show_me_directory_listing.
sorry about the rant, but I'm pretty po'ed about the dumbing down of
unix.
