Applying patches.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- In 2.4 and previous kernels, the recommended way to apply patches was
to use a command line such as ...
gzip -cd patchXX.gz | patch -p0
In 2.6, Linus started adding an extra path element to the diffs,
so using -p1 in the untarred 'to be patched' directory is necessary.
+Release Candidates
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+- In 2.4 and previous kernels, -rc meant "release candidate".
+ In 2.6, -rc means "really churning", so even more testing is desired.
+
Known gotchas.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Certain known bugs are being reported over and over. Here are the
workarounds.
