The only patches vital to most people would be security patches, and these are accomplished by the Herbert Xu (the kernel-source packages maintainer). So all you need to do is get the latest Debian package for whichever kernel you want. Kevin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

Want to update the kernel
Im using the default 2.4.18-bf2.4 kernel. I want to add some more modules, w/c I usually does at compiling from source Its actually a kernel patch, how can I do that from a deb package kernel? Is that possible? Thanks, Louie -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
