Just installed Linux Mandrake V7.1 (Helium) with kernel 2.2.15-4mdk. Was having a problem with accessing all the files on a remote smbfs directory, and the folks at www.samba.org told me to patch and recompile the kernel up to 2.2.18-pre8 to fix it. So I downloaded the necessary patches from ftp.kernel.org and tried it. Problem: the patches expect a plain vanilla kernel. They don't want to patch the existing mandrake -4mdk mod. Errors abound... So, does mandrake have special patches that can get me up to 2.2.18-mdk-pre8 ? Or what should I do?
