One of two ways (asumming you've unpacked a vanilla kernel): 1) Using GNU diff-style patches. These are on the project download page. 2) Checking out either a tagged release or HEAD from CVS, and copying that over your vanilla tree. Something like: cvs -d:pserver:ano...@cv...:/cvsroot/gc-linux co -r linux-2_6_N linux cp -r linux/* linux-2.6.N Where N could be 1-7, depending on what kernel version you're working with. To check out a snapshot of the latest stuffi (HEAD), drop the -r option entirely. Arthur |
