(By looking at the complet= e=20 filename of the skas patch). A bit outdated, actually. But the other patches could be interesting for Jeff to take into his tree..= .=20 the names seem to mean that he fixed highmem support and a lot of other=20 things... > both the uml-patch and the host-skas patch set in one.... > I don't know... but the question is actually meaningless anyway. I.e. every= =20 UML patch includes the SKAS patch, but it's useful for when you run a UML=20 inside another UML: this outer one will have the SKAS support for the inner= =20 one. So you need the separate SKAS patch. You need two separate kernel trees, or you won't be able to build a kernel. For space consumption, you can get a vanilla tree(please clean it before do= ing=20 this, or you'll copy built files and waste time and space for this) in one = place(let's say /usr/src/linux), and do this: cd /usr/src cp -al linux linuxUm(note that the second folder MUST be on the same=20 partition; this command will create hardlink instead of copy, i.e. it will = consume no space; anyway, patch will patch only one tree, since it creates = a=20 new file, which is no more a hardlink). cd linuxUm cd ../linux Bye --=20 cat <
