i've forgoten

> you saying that typing, "make" in the "PATCHES" directory will cause a patch to be generated specifically for my kernel? 
>
thats actually the work of ./configure it trys to find out what you 
have, and what you need
in PATCHES it chooses from all the patches the ones your kernel need ,
and " make " put them together in one patch for your kernel 

> What name will it be given?
>        The documentation says to add a dash dash kernel-dir= or something or other after the "./configure" command, are you saying it is better to use "./configure" absent that appended statement?
