Hi All,
I've decided to start trying out the 2.5 kernels and I've got the 2.5.47
tarball and the 2.5.48 patch. However looking at the diff file its trying
to create an a and b directory. Is there a special significance for this
and how do I go about applying the patch?

cd linux-2.5.47
zcat ../patch-2.5.48.gz | patch -p1

`man patch` would be your friend here:
-pnum or --strip=num
Strip the smallest prefix containing num leading slashes from
each file name
found in the patch file. A sequence of one or more adjacent
slashes is counted
as a single slash. This controls how file names found in the
patch file are
treated, in case you keep your files in a different directory than
the person who
sent out the patch. For example, supposing the file name in the
patch file was
/u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c
setting -p0 gives the entire file name unmodified, -p1 gives
u/howard/src/blurfl/blurfl.c
without the leading slash, -p4 gives
blurfl/blurfl.c
and not specifying -p at all just gives you blurfl.c. Whatever
you end up with
is looked for either in the current directory, or the directory
specified by the
-d option.
just go into your kernel source dir and patch -p1
bash-2.05a$ cd linux
bash-2.05a$ zcat ../patch-2.5.48.gz |patch -p1
