Hello !

I just downloaded the 2.5.72 kernel sources and applied the -mm1 patch, =
now I'd want to include Reiser4 in my kernel. I tried to compile the =
reiserprogs sources from the bk repositery, but autoconf and then =
./configure failed.
I don't really know how to patch the kernel though ... do I simply have =
to copy the reiser4 folder in the kernel's /fs folder, and then apply =
the linux-[...].patch ? This one does not work on my kernel, and I don't =
know if it's the right way to go.
I'd just like you to make a little howto to merge reiser4 into an =
existing kernel (I don't want to download the whole Reiser4 kernel tree =
...) and then correctly compile the reiser4progs.

Thank you in advance,
Fred

PS : What are the lilo and grub patches in the reiserprogs source tree =
for ? Do they bring boot support for reiser4 partitions, so that grub =
for instance will be able to fetch its menu.lst file from a reiser4 =
partition ?
