I understand what you are trying to achieve but the reality is that nobody is going to read the patching of a whole file system. If you supported patches greater than 100k this would be trivial to do, but I have a single file greater than that. Perhaps it is time to accept larger patches more consistent with the lkml and friends. -- Charles _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
