Real simple. Others - please forgive me for listing obvious
commands or paths that are particulary to my system.
Note: The -p0 on the patch command is real important.
alcove:/# cd /usr/src
alcove:/usr/src# mkdir linux-1.2.8a
alcove:/usr/src# rm linux
alcove:/usr/src# ln -s linux-1.2.8a linux
alcove:/usr/src# tar xvzf /home/linux/kernel/linux-1.2.8.tar.gz
alcove:/usr/src# zcat /home/linux/kernel/diffs.1.2.8.gz | patch -p0
alcove:/usr/src# cd linux
alcove:/usr/src/linux# find . -name \*.orig -exec rm \{\} \;
alcove:/usr/src/linux# find . -name \*.rej -print
(none are found)
alcove:/usr/src/linux# make config
Enjoy... :-)
