If your wanting to go to 2.4.16 then I would suggest downloading these files from this directory: ftp.suse.com: /pub/people/mantel/next/RPM The files are: k_deflt-2.4.16-5.i386.rpm kernel-source-2.4.16.SuSE-5.i386.rpm They were posted today I believe. I've got them installed and they seem to work pretty well :) * Bob B (n1uan@bridgenettn.com) [011130 16:37]: ->Hi ->I was wondering if someone could tell me about kernel patches ->the ? is ->if i have say linux-2.4.15.tar.gz and unpack it and i notice ->that there was two patches make like ->linux-2.4.16-pre1.gz ->linux-2.4.16-pre2.gz ->do i need to just apply the linux-2.4.16-pre2.gz or do i need to ->still do both as my thinking is that in the pre2 one would be the pre1 ->patches thanks for any info -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- Ben Rosenberg mailto:ben@whack.org -----=====-----=====-----=====-----=====----- "Technological progress is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal" -AE
