Hi,
Thanks for the response. That did give me a different result, but it still
didn't work right. I got a lot of failures and messages saying that some
parts were already present and wanted to know if I wanted to use the -R
option.
Is there a good reference on patching? I can't find anything on the web, and
I've got no experience with this. Can I just install the latest patch or do
I have to do all the previous ones first? I'm using irda-utils .9.9, but I
don't know which patch that corresponds to.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
