OK, it's quite clear I misunderstood the role of http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/cpufreq/ tar archives... :-( I thought that these archives were there to provide the latest cpufreq backport for 2.4.x kernels, and that one (following Bruno Ducrot's instructions) would be able to use them to modify a 2.4.x kernel (and be happy). That is why I said that a kernel patch would be easier to apply. If those archives are online for completely different purposes (which ones?), I apologize for all the noise. Now the question is: I would like to run the latest 2.4.x kernel with cpufreq support, what do I do? > > > Such a script should be run daily (via cron) on ftp.linux.org.uk > > > > This could perhaps work and provide up-to-date patches, as long as > > 2.4.x cpufreq at http://ftp.linux.org.uk/pub/linux/cpufreq/ is kept > > up-to-date with 2.6.x > > But assuming that this CVS export is up-to-date [which it isn't], why > is your script necessary?

Of course, cpufreq cannot be backported from 2.6.x to 2.4.x by an automatic script. That's a manual operation in any case. And one in which I cannot help much[1], I'm afraid...
