This is what i use to diff 2 different kernels

- snip -
        diffkernel)
           mount none /d/kernel -t ramfs
           cd /d/kernel
           tar -zxf $1
           cp -a linux linuxa
           cd /d/kernel/linuxa
           zcat $2 | patch -p1 -E -s
           cd /d/kernel/linux
           zcat $3 | patch -p1 -E -s
           cd /d/kernel
           diff -Nur linuxa linux
           cd
           umount /d/kernel
- snip -

This takes about 8 seconds (for 2.4 kernels) on my Dual PIII-933, 1Gig-RAM

wants a "you asked for it, you got it" text editor -- complicated, 
cryptic, powerful, unforgiving, dangerous.
