Take a look at the ``screen''

few threads stored there relating to kernel patches.

You could rename your kernel-source-2.2.1 to whatever the patch is

You don't need to compile any of them as you patch them up, you can if
you want to test each patch, but otherwise just apply all of the patches

Oh, if you use make-kpkg to build kernels, when you install them with
dpkg the updating of the System.map is handled as part of that, so you

bzImage is "big" zImage, and is able to load larger kernels (>1MB),
whereas zImage is limited to something smaller (600kB?). You want to use
bzImage all the time, unless your machine doesn't like booting such
images (e.g. some lapt
arm'. If it the settings look good, remove the
'-n' and run again to actually make the links.

installing the ftpd package. Or you can go with something else, like
wu-ftpd* or proftpd, depending on your needs.
As for where ftpd starts from, it's normally started by inetd when it's
needed. Check out /etc/inetd.conf and look for an entry con
iasing to the CFLAGS in the
makefile to get the kernel to build with gcc 2.95. This is because
between egcs and the changeover to gcc 2.95, the default option for

of plenty of reasons why having

Your best bet would be to find out if X 3.3.5 is available as a set of
