[PATCH] - patch-kernel 2.4.18

["Christopher A. Baumbauer" <cbaumba1@purdue.edu>]

Added support for patching in the pre-release patches (dept. of 
redundancy dept.) to the kernel tree.  Nothing major, but along the same 
lines as the -ac patch option (also works the same way, except for using 
-pre instead).  Finally, if there is a discussion, could you please cc 
me directly since I'm not on the list.

Ciao,
Chris Baumbauer
