Slight Linux Upgrade
Hello Ya'all:

I hope Zaxxon is still around. I read a posting about compiling/updating the kernel from source. I'm doing a very specific upgrade, and am wondering if there is anything different or if there's an easy way to do this: I am using kernel version 2.6.18-92, and have done some customizations. I want to upgrade to 2.6.18-92.1.26, but don't want to plop down a new kernel - i.e. the existing kernel has to be patched to 2.6.18-92.1.26. Should I follow the previously posted instructions, or is there an easier way?

I'd love to help, but I don't understand what you're trying to achieve.

If you're just want to incorporate the change between 2.6.18-92 and 2.6.18-92.1.26 to the repository you're working in then:

If you're using git, this should be trivial.

If not - grab the git repository and create a diff between this two changes and apply it into your source.


If haven't understood you please explain what I'm missing here.
