[PATCH] - patch-kernel 2.4.18

From: Christopher A. Baumbauer (cbaumba1@purdue.edu)
Date: Thu Jun 20 2002 - 00:54:33 EST

Added support for patching in the pre-release patches (dept. of
redundancy dept.) to the kernel tree. Nothing major, but along the same
lines as the -ac patch option (also works the same way, except for using
-pre instead). Finally, if there is a discussion, could you please cc
me directly since I'm not on the list.

Ciao,
Chris Baumbauer
