Sorry for the "read receipts", I will try to avoid them.
============================================
I do the command below as the FAQ advised.
zcat patch-X.X.XX.gz | patch -p0 -E
But get the following results...
=======================================================
[root_at_bbb src]# zcat patch-2.4.20ctx-17 | patch -p0 -E
zcat: patch-2.4.20ctx-17: not in gzip format
[root_at_bbb src]# zcat patch-2.4.20ctx-17.gz | patch -p0 -E
can't find file to patch at input line 4
Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?
The text leading up to this was:
--------------------------
|diff -rc2P linux-2.4.20/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S
linux-2.4.20ctx-17/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S
|*** linux-2.4.20/arch/i386/kernel/entry.S 2002-12-09

21:13:24.000000000 -0500
--------------------------
File to patch:
=======================================================
Is it asking for the file name of the running kernel or something else?
Also, I find vservers start ok even without the patch installed. Is it
essential to apply the patch?
Thanks,
Joseph
