I want to go from kernel 2.4.18 to 2.6.8 ... it seems easier to me to just apply all the patches instead of just reinstalling the kernel from scratch. I found all the patches I will need at
www. linuxhq.com --- Is linunxhq.com a good source to get patches? I tried to get them from
www.kernel.org but i can't find all the patches i need only the full kernels.
How can you be sure that patches are "authentic"? I've read on HOWTO pages about verifying source code and they always refer to a file named blahblah.bz2.sign on which you should run your gpg program. This seems easy enough except where can you get this .sign file?
thanks
