(a) Should I download the vanilla 3.18.1 kernel sources and apply all the |
| 4 |
gentoo-sources tar-ball patches in numerical order?? |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
(b) I tried downloading the vanilla 3.18.8 kernel. But of course the |
| 7 |
earlier gentoo-sources 3.18.1 - 3.18.6 patches don't apply cleanly... Will |
| 8 |
I get to the same place if I ignore these?? Or should I go with option (a) |
| 9 |
:-) |
