Technically, 'patch' does the mirror image of 'diff'. 'diff' generates a patch and 'patch' applies a patch. > the (@@ -815,8 +815,15 @@) means go to line 815, in the > targeted file remove any line that are marked by (-) indicated in the > patch file, then insert all (+) lines as indicated in the patch file. > Correct?

Sure, if the patch is very simple I often just edit the file by hand instead of using 'patch'. > The only issue with the latest Sabayonlinux install is with my new build > that I have the Intel E6550 and the Intel DG33BU matx board.

I don't know if you've ever compiled your own custom kernel, but these problems with hardware support can often be solved by building a new kernel with the correct hardware drivers compiled in. If the hardware is very recent, the kernel may not have the correct drivers yet -- sometimes it takes a long time to reverse engineer them. NVidea is the notorious worst for keeping their hardware interfaces secret. _______________________________________________ Pan-users mailing list Pan-users@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/pan-users
