cd /usr/src/redhat rpm --install kernel*src*rpm more SPECS/kernel*
Gives a change log, a list of patches , and the patch files are all dropped into the SOURCES directory. rpm -ba applies and builds the rpms
AFAIK there are five patches not in the mainstream kernel nowdays
o An earlier version of HJ Lu's NFS patch o A version of Doug's AIC7xxx driver (may be in) - newer and even better one is in 2.2.11pre2 o Ingo's raid update (newer and better one in 11pre2) o Large file handle patch (which I hope will get in once its had all the Linus thinks xyz is ugly bits removed). o Drop the kernel into /boot by default
- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.rutgers.edu Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
