Re: Latest patch for RHEL3 2.4.21-27.0.3ELSmp

Hi,
Pardon my ignorance but I am sort of a newbie to the kernel. If I
understand right, I have to patch this code on to the existing kernel
source tree (patch -p0 < linux-2.4.21-tux.patch). Then I have to
recompile and reboot the kernel. After I which compile and run
(tux-3.2.21.tar.gz), which will replace the tux module I currently
have.

Once again, thanks for your help.
Thanks
