Greetings Nox,
Thank u very much for the advice.
I recently tried checking out what this POM stuff was
all about and to see if I could apply any patches.
Well I did according to what the Netfilter Extension
HOWTO instructed, namely:

1). Get the latest CVS tree, by doing (taken from
HOWTO)..

# cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.netfilter.org:/cvspublic
login

(When it asks you for a password type `cvs').

# cvs -d :pserver:cvs@pserver.netfilter.org:/cvspublic
co netfilter/userspace netfilter/patch-o-matic

2). Second I did the following to state my kernel src
dir..

# export KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8

3). # cd /usr/src/linux/
    # make dep

4)# ./runme extra

Actually my problem is at stage 4, the output says..

Do you want to apply this patch [N/y/t/f/a/r/b/w/q/?]
y
Testing patch submitted/03_2.4.21.patch...
Failed to patch copy of /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8/
TEST FAILED: patch NOT applied.

[Press enter to continue]....

 As u can see somethng is wrong, even worse when press
return it just keeps cycling thru the same above entry
:( . Is the patch number somehow related to my kernel
version number??. What can I do from here
I would really appreciate any help on the above.
Thanking u for ur time
Stack..

Hold on:

# export KERNEL_DIR=/usr/src/linux-2.4.20-8

3). # cd /usr/src/linux/
    # make dep

see the difference?

you set env for 2.4.20-8
but cd into /usr/src/linux/

Is this a typo?
if not thats most likely the cause

Try it with the "f" instead of "y"
that should force it to work.

At least you can get through it this way
Let me know how it goes

Wow "f" seems to be da magic letter, all patches
cleanly applied 'n' now its time to compile the
kernel, let da games begin. Thanks alot  :-)
By da way, how do all those developers come up with
these patches, what are the guide lines followed to
develop one.
Cheers

Glad it worked out.

Well the dvelopers, I would imagine, combine a 
mixture of skill, and trial and error.

Knowing about the code, the system, and the process.
Kernel hacking etc etc.

As for the guidelines, Im really not sure.
Info should be out there though,
Best way to find out would be joining 
kernel hacking / development mailing lists.
Like this one. 

Thanks
