Alan's patches are installed like this:
# cd /usr/src
# tar xIf linux-2.4.1.tar.bz2
# cd linux
# patch -sp1 < ../patch-2.4.1-ac6
# chown -R root:root .
Note the "-sp1" and that you need to be _inside_ the tree. Also, you don't
need to waste another process ("cat") and create a pipe, just use shell
input redirection facility "<".

Tigran
