"cd /usr/src" Download the base kernel: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.9.bz2 Download the latest prepatch: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/testing/patch-2.6.10-rc3.bz2 Download the latest snapshot: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/snapshots/patch-2.6.10-rc3-bk15.bz2 Uncompress the files: "bunzip2 *.bz2" Untar the base: "tar -xvf *.tar" Get the .config file from your latest working kernel, or the Redhat base: "cp XXXX/.config mick" change the directory name to the new kernel: "mv linux-2.6.9 2.6.10-rc3-bk15" get the patches there: "cp pat* 2.6.10-rc3-bk15" and the config: "cp mick 2.6.10-rc3-bk15/.config" cd there: "cd 2.6.10-rc3-bk15 " FINALLY patch the kernel: "cat *rc3 | patch -p1" "cat *bk15 | patch -p1" Compile it: "make" "make modules_install" "make install" and - reboot to the new kernel. This is just my tedious, boring, slow way of doing it. Mick ===== Dogs have Masters - Siamese Cats have Staff! __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
