Subject: Latest stable kernel?

Sorry for the dumb question but ...

If the latest stable kernel is a patch (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/patch-2.4.18.gz) then what do I need to download to patch to get to the latest stable release?

Thanks in advance,

--Buddy

The whole kernel is here:

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.18.tar.bz2

If you really want to patch anything you could download version 2.4.17

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/linux-2.4.17.tar.bz2

and patch it to 2.4.18 with

ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.4/patch-2.4.18.bz2

You will see a legend on the site F = full source, V = view patch, etc
next to 2.4.18 you will see F thats the link to the full source.
