In your shell do this:- cd /usr/tmp wget ftp://debian.co.nz/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 wget ftp://oss.sgi.com/projects/xfs/patches/2.4.20xfs-2.4.20-all-i386.bz2 cd /usr/src tar xvjf /usr/tmp/linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2 cd linux-2.4.20 # Test it out with a dry run cat /usr/tmp/2.4.20xfs-2.4.20-all-i386.bz2 | bunzip2 | patch -p1 --dry-run # Do it for real cat /usr/tmp/2.4.20xfs-2.4.20-all-i386.bz2 | bunzip2 | patch -p1 make menuconfig I assume you know what to do after this ... Note that linux-2.4.21 has just been announced. I expect that the xfs patches will be available from SGI fairly soon. you should get and install the xfs tools from SGI too. -- C. S.
