Sorry for the lattency but it takes a whole day to compile from scratch .=
..

so yesterday, i build a system without problems, grsec and xfs where=20
disabled, as well as several other packages; this morning, after=20
updating sources and cvs, i build a new one : make mrpromer then make=20
menuconfig to enable xfs and finaly make build ...

but when i came back this evening,compilation was stopped with :
...
patching file drivers/scsi/53c8xx_d.h
patching file drivers/scsi/53c8xx_u.h
patching file drivers/scsi/sim710_d.h
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected!  Assume -R? [n]

so i opened another shell to see it was grsec patches ! Amazing as the=20
option was disabled for a while in my selection! So i edit .config file=20
to see that there is no ligne with CONFIG_GRSECURITY=3Dn !!!

Maybe it's part of the pb ?

Hope it's not an error from me in the build process ... the only thing i=20
add was the hostap driver which build in 292, too late to impact build=20
at that time.

I posted a question concerning dir /usr/include/linux which i could not=20
find  : it seems to "appear" in his directory after make unpack or=20
build, i don't know as make build automaticaly unpack sources if they're=20
not.
I'm a little bit disturbedabout that as your documentation talks about=20
renaming it to linux2 in chapter 1.2, at the begining of the process and=20
the directory is created at a latter time (chapter 2 i guess); it is=20
quite amazing for a newbie like me as you seems to give the whole=20
process to build in a chronological order ; by the way, why rename it to=20
linux2 ? I'm very curious :-)

Thanks for your help and great job!

ps. i hope after build was successful i can contribute to your efforts=20
with my work to integrate hostap driver for wireless; i 'm building last=20
cvs which gives really interesting new features. last question, it seams=20
a good idea not to modify sources from original tarballs,and to override=20
things to be changed with options in the make commands, but i was forced=20
to comment out 3 lines in the main Makefile (of the hostap tree) to=20
prevent depmod -a to execute at install time : is it against your=20
philosophy to do that or is it alright? (it's certainly more difficult=20
to maintain as versions grows) Should i make patch files ? should i ask=20
developpers of the hostap driver to modify their Makefile so i can=20
disable it when doing make install ?

Ok, i stop my newbies questions ;-)
