Actually I got this from the list so thanks goes out to other member of the list. See where I put the note above (***), that's where I add my patches. First I'd take a look at the kernel-2.6.spec and find the last patch. Just before: # END OF PATCH DEFINITIONS I'd add something like: Patch19999: my-patchfile.patch Then a little later in the file: #%patch10004 -p1 %patch199999 -p1 # END OF PATCH APPLICATIONS</blockquote><div> So, instead of issuing a command like - Example Only - <pre>patch -p1 < /usr/src/device-mapper.1.01.05/patches/linux-2.4.28-pre4-devmapper-ioctl.patch </pre>You would add it to the spec file to be automatically included when you did the ' rpmbuild -bp --target=i686 kernel-2.6.spec' I might figure all this stuff our after all.....

Just make sure that your patch isn't already in there. I hope that helps. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry <a href="mailto:ncherry@linuxha.com">ncherry@linuxha.com</a> <a href="http://www.linuxha.com/">http://www.linuxha.com/</a> Main site <a href="http://linuxha.blogspot.com/">http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ </a> My HA Blog <a href="http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/">http://home.comcast.net/~ncherry/</a> Backup site -- fedora-list mailing list <a href="mailto:fedora-list@redhat.com"> fedora-list@redhat.com</a> To unsubscribe: <a href="https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list">https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list</a> </blockquote></div>
