Subject: [Linux-ia64] applying patch

Hi All,

I looked at the http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/ports/ia64/
directory. The directory has only one big .tar.gz file with kernel
sources and the rest of the files are patches. After I looked at the
directory, I got totally confused as there are readme files which
can tell me how to use the patches and what should be the base kernel
to apply the patch. Is it that, the big tar.gz file should be the base
kernel and then I need to apply all the patches appearing in the
directory or that I need to apply only a specific patch ?

If there is any readmes or any other information regarding the patches
please send me the URL so that I can go through that.

Thanks and regards,
