First, you need to download the source code for the linux kernel. If you are running linux on a mac, you can download the kernel like this (make sure you have rsync installed, along with the dev tools like gcc and stuff):
How can I install the patch ?

First, you need to download the source code for the linux kernel. If you are running linux on a mac, you can download the kernel like this (make sure you have rsync installed, along with the dev tools like gcc and stuff):
mkdir /usr/src/linux
rsync -avz rsync.penguinppc.org::linux-2.4-benh /usr/src/linux
Then, download the patch and copy it into /usr/src/linux, and run:
patch -p1 < patchname
where patchname is the name of the hfsplus patch.
Then, configure and build the kernel (make sure to turn HFS+ support on =) There are good instructions for building a kernel available on the 'net, but if you're using debian, there's a (better) special way to do it, the instructions for debian are at:
http://www.debian.org/releases/stable/powerpc/ch-post-install.en.html#s-kernel-baking
Anyway, good luck! Sorry it has to be so complicated
By the way, if you're not running linux on a PC, you can download the kernel source from kernel.org
In my previous post, where I said:
if you're not running linux on a PC
I meant:
if you ARE running linux on a PC
Sorry about that!
