i installed suse7.0, downloaded kernel 2.2.17 from kernel.org and the patch ieee1394-2.2.17-20001012.gz fom your homepage. i followed your installation instructions but can not apply the patch. i get the following message. bash-2.04# zcat ieee1394-2.2.17-20001012.gz | patch -p1 can't find file to patch at input line 4 Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option? The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |diff -ruN linux-2.2.orig/CREDITS linux-2.2/CREDITS |--- linux-2.2.orig/CREDITS Sun Sep 17 17:28:51 2000 |+++ linux-2.2/CREDITS Sun Sep 17 17:49:36 2000 -------------------------- yes, the links /usr/src/linux-2.2 and /usr/src/linux-2.2.orig exist and point to the /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 or /usr/src/linux-2.2.17.orig directory. i'm not familar with patching... so what did i do wrong? michael |

You have to be in the linux source directory... yes, the links /usr/src/linux-2.2 and > /usr/src/linux-2.2.orig exist and point to the > /usr/src/linux-2.2.17 or /usr/src/linux-2.2.17.orig > directory. ...which in your case means "cd /usr/src/linux-2.2.17" and only then run the patch command. -- Andreas E.
