Look inside that patch - you will see which files it changes. "-" means the lines it removes, "+" means the lines it adds. Before you apply any patch, you have to do at least one build - otherwise, kernel source won't be downloaded and unpacked. If you've never compiled Linux kernel before, it may be a bit hard, I guess. -- Tomasz Chmielewski http://wpkg.org |
