Be aware that you have to use patches in order. ie. if there is a patch-2.4.12-ac[1,2,3,4,5] they have to be applied in order. I do cd /usr/src/linux patch -p1 < wherever-the-patch-is/patch-[number] (un-zipped of course) -- To the systems programmer, users and applications serve only to provide a test load. _______________________________________________________
