Hello Eng. You can do it in the two ways: first install the kernel and after apply patch or apply the patch to the kernel source and then compile it. But i think that in the second way you have a step less, cos ever after apply the patch you must compile again. You must know that today (february 15) kernel 2.5.61 is out. Why are you interested in 2.5.59?, this kernel is "old" talking in the development terms. The best mirror for your download is: http://www.averse.lkams.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.5 Regards. Jose. http://linuxespana.scripterz.org Debian GNU/Linux 'Sid' Kernel 2.5.61 Ext3. ESware Linux 365 Kernel 2.5.60 ReiserFS. Registered Linux User #213309. Memories..... You are talking about memories.
