Mainline kernel patches apply against the previous full release version.. for example, 2.4.20-pre1 applies against 2.4.19. patch-2.4.20 also will be made from 2.4.19. The alternate maintainer patches apply against the version they list - 2.4.20-pre10-ac is Alan's changes from the 2.4.20-pre10 kernel, so you need to make a 2.4.20-pre10 source tree first (by applying the 2.4.20-pre10 patch to a full 2.4.19 source tree) If you encounter any failed patches that way, you should probably let Alan know (although he almost certainly will know already) Cheers, J. -- Jan Schmidt [EMAIL PROTECTED] "Stoke me a clipper, I'll be back for Christmas" -- Arnold 'Ace' Rimmer, Red Dwarf -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group - http://slug.org.au/ More Info: http://lists.slug.org.au/listinfo/slug
