Tim,

        My reply to you did not appear in ng .

As I told you, I had skipped the patching as i found from a --dry-run that all
the patches were in place on the Montavista  2.6.10 Kernel I am using. 

Today, I downloaded and installed quilt.  Then I patched the Userspace code
(Daemon and Visualiser). ( Frolov calls the patch "an improvement over 0.9.6".
Hence , I had thought it may work even without patch. )

With this,  it is working now.  Tomorrow, I need to analyse the results of
visualiser and confirm that the data is correct.

I am running visualiser on target in text mode. I also need to try out the
graphic mode on host after installing GTK.

With "quilt push -a" , --dry-run kept on telling me of failed hunks of few
patches.  This led me to FUD as I am doing patch for first time.
It took me quite some time to realise that --dry-run can be used to check only
the first patch of a file in a series.

      I would like to know if I can use  LTTng on 2.6.10 with MIPS4000.
