Yeah, there is also a package out there called 'interdiff'. Lets you make a diff between two diff files. ;) interdiff acpi-20030321-2.4.21-pre5.diff acpi-20030328-2.4.21-pre6.diff > acpi.diff It seems to get one reject on the acpi patches for some reason, but that one looks cosmetic. Will try it on my heavily patched 2.4.21-pre5. ;) kevin -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.1 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Processed by Mailcrypt 3.5.8 iD8DBQE+heMx3imCezTjY0ERAp8+AJ0b/uqTf4Y0A3ZOUaE5/ZyuGDAn+wCdHExQ PWF/JMHYT1yrPlo6UUMWv9c= =bwxy -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: The Definitive IT and Networking Event.
