From what I read in the above link, I think something may be wrong with my
patch-o-matic I got via CVS.  I ran a (./runme base) and I got the following
output.  In this output the only thing that is "Already applied:" is the
first line.  Nothing else seems to be applied after that.  Plus, that link
above references  switches ( Do you want to apply this patch [N/y/t/f/q/?] )
that I am not getting.

*********************************************************************
Each patch is a new feature: many have minimal impact, some do not.
Almost every one has bugs, so I don't recommend applying them all!

No more patches to apply! Q to Quit or ? for options [Q/a/r/b/?]
Excellent! Kernel is now ready for compilation.
*********************************************************************

I never get a chance to choose which patches I wish to install.  Before I
wrote that first message to this mail list, I had already tried recompiling
the kernel and iptables after I ran (./runme base).  Does it look like my
patch-o-matic is working incorrectly?

Thanks,
