A stock, witty reply to "ping". As in "ping pong".

A slightly less hostile question would have sufficed.

An IHOP less that a mile, you all are lucky.  I think there used to be one in 
Northern Kentucky, maybe closer to Lexington, a long time ago.  I seem to 
remember passing it on our way to Florida on vacation as a kid.  Its long 
gone though.   

I spied one in Tennessee on one of our many trips to the Smokies in the last 
couple of years though we have never stopped at it.  Next time we go, I have 
to stop.

Yea, my wife truly had an intense passion for IHOPs as well.  We figured
out that the nearest one to Pittsburgh was somewhere in northern
Virginia, followed by one near Detroit, MI.  
Now that we've moved to California there are IHOPs all over the place,

Ah yes.  Very nice.  I truly enjoy the Waffle House.  It has been some time

If it wasn't Mencken, it's the kind of remark he *would* have made if

very simply, this:
look in the patch at the first line:

diff -Nur linux-2.4.15/Makefile linux/Makefile


This line shows you how (and where) the patch was created.  To apply 
this patch, you should be in the directory where linux (either as a 
directory or symlink) exists.  So what will be patched is linux/Makefile.

If you don't have linux or a symlink, but only linux-2.4.16 and don't 
want to create a symlink, then cd into linux-2.4.16 and use -p1.

When you use -p1, the first part of the name will be stripped (linux/), 
leaving you with Makefile, which is what will be patched.  Big note: 
while the kernel patches put out by Linus and Alan Cox are standardized 
and will always be the same, anyone creating a patch can create it 
anywhere in the source tree (or above it) (s)he wants to.  So you may 
find patches you have to cd well down into the source tree to apply. 
Just read the first line of the patch for a clue as to where to start. 
Each successive -p# removes one more part of the name.  So if the patch 
says: usr/src/linux/Makefile and you're in src/, you'll need to use -p2.

Now, the -R is (ostensibly) for Reversing the patch.  This is not 
entirely accurate (even if it is true).  What it does is apply the patch 
in reverse order using linux/, but going from the second to the first 
rather than the first to the second.  That is, rather than change lines 
that begin with - to look the lines that begin +, it changes the lines 
that look like + to ones that look like -.

Clear as mud?

So, cd up one more directory level (say, from /usr/src/linux to
/usr/src) before applying the patch.

The number following -p indicates the number of directories (prefixed
by "/") patch should strip off the filenames embedded in the patch
file before applying the patch to the filesystem. So, given a patch
file containing a pathname foo/bar/baz/somefile.c: 

patch -p0 yields foo/bar/baz/somefile.c
patch -p1 yields bar/baz/somefile.c
patch -p2 yields baz/somefile.c

Keep in mind that patch works relative to the current directory. So,
in the first example, foo/bar/baz/somefile.c has to exist in
foo/bar/baz from your current directory, or the patch will fail.

Clear?

Thanks, David

That is now very clear; will remember forever.  I presume this means,
if you have the pristine base source, you only need the very latest
-pren or -acn patch?

One more question.  When I apply (using one of several methods,
depending on whether still compressed or not, location, etc.) patch
-p0, the patch always fails.  I have to use patch -p1.  Could you

Let me try one more time:
normal patches from one revision level to another (2.4.16 to 2.4.17 to 
2.4.18) must be applied in order successively.

-pre and -ac patches need to have the previous one removed before 
applying the new one (patch -R -p0 -i xxx-pre1 ; patch -p0 -i xxx-pre2).

Aside from that... I didn't notice any traffic that mentioned either 2.5.0 or

Re the 1.5.0 topic, I tried to patch 2.5.0 with the pre1 and pre2
patches.  pre2 went on with no complaints.  For pre2 I got several

2.5.0 came out with 2.4.15.  They both have the same shutdown filesystem
corruption error.  Fix was 2.4.16 and a patch to 2.5.0.  Only difference is in
the Makefile at the top where one says 2.4.15 and the other 2.5.0.

The readme in 2.5.0 says that it is the same as 2.4.15/2.4.16 cannot remember 
which it was as a startpoint .

Unfortunately, it's for an office with many people looking for many things.  
There are interior designers who "need" the large format capacity, and others 
looking for graphics ability.

I have put forth the idea of two seperate scanners, one for general and 
graphics, and the other, a B&W large format document scanner for the interior 
desingers...the price tag for two is less than one that can do it 
all...considerably less.

I would say...  Is there any way around your requirements?

HP (and Microtek) make pretty decent stuff, but mainly for low-end graphic 
arts work:  not high-speed or larger format.  Then there's always Fujitsu, 
and they seem affordable for production scanners, but theirs leave you with 
a choice between color and larger formats.  VERY good stuff, though.

Under $1000.00 for one (ScanPartner 15C) that does all you want but is 
8.5x11 (8.5x14 for the ADF).  $4-5000.00 for one (M3096GX) that's faster, 
does 11 x 17, but is monochrome.  Unfortunately, theirs just seem to just 
get faster but stay monochrome as you spend more--though it appears there 
is something called the M4097D that is large-format, color, and puts us 
right back where you were before in terms of price.
