Ladies and Gentlemen,
I know how to apply a patch to the kernel source, but how do I apply the inc patches? For example, I have the basic 2.4.8 source, the patch-2.4.7-folk2.2.2 file, and finally the patch-2.4.8-folk-inc-2.2.2-2.2.3 file. I've been trying to apply the inc patch the original patch with no luck. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as I have a dial up (standard connection: raging 21600) and it's much quicker to pull down an incremental patch.

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
I only discovered FOLK yesterday so I may be a little off-base on this.
First, the 2.4.7-folk2.2.2 looks as if it wants to be applied to the basic 2.4.7 source and not the basic 2.4.8 source. If you're tracking the kernel sources as I have been recently, then use the 2.4.7 basic kernel. Once this patch is in place you may apply the second patch. I assume this patch takes one from kernel-2.4.7 + folk-2.2.2 to
the new kernel-2.4.8 + folk-2.2.3. Keyword here is *assume*. (I'm doing my first cvs co as we speak.)
Let me know if this works; wait for FOLK folk to respond if it doesn't. I'll be monitoring these forums in either case.

Mr. Edmons,
Thanks for the tip. I've just tried this and it works.

Yep, you're 100% right. I should have written better download docs. Many appologies, and I'm glad the information's now out there! Thanks!
