Now i want to apply Alan Cox patche (linux-2.4.1-ac9), but i always get these errors : [root@space src]# cat /home/puck/patch-2.4.1-ac9 | patch -p0 can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |diff -u --new-file --recursive --exclude-from /usr/src/exclude linux.vanilla/CREDITS linux.ac/CREDITS |--- linux.vanilla/CREDITS Wed Jan 31 22:05:29 2001 |+++ linux.ac/CREDITS Fri Feb 9 13:19:13 2001 -------------------------- File to patch: [root@space src]# Do i have to create linux.vanilla and linux.ac, or what's the magic?! :-) Thanx a lot, Thomas - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
