This directory contains the latest fixes and security patches for the
current stable linux kernel.

USE THESE PATCHES AGAINST THE LINUX KERNEL 2.4.20 ONLY.

USE OF THESE PATCHES ARE AT YOUR OWN RISK, I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR
THEIR USE OR MISUSE.

All patches are the property of their respective owners and are mirrored
here strictly for the convenience of the community at large.
 
Patches are:

linux-2.4.20-updates.patch: Contains all three patches below.  For the
        primary fixes needed in the current release kernel.

Individual patches:

linux-2.4.20-ext3.patch: Fixes for ext3 data=journal umount patch, sync-fix
        patch, and use-after-free patch from Andrew Morton <akpm@digeo.com>

linux-2.4.20-ptrace.patch: Alan Cox relased a patch against 2.4.20 which did
        not apply cleanly (perhaps it was his -ac tree).  This will apply
        cleanly and compile under i386 to the clean 2.4.20 source tree. 
        This also includes the is_dumpable check for (tsk)->mm being NULL.

linux-2.4.20-tg3.patch: Jeff Garzik and David S. Millers tg3 1.4c
	driver for 2.4.20

linux-2.4.20-uv2.patch: Update Version 2 patch.  Changes the EXTRAVERSION
	to -uv2

o use wget to get the original patch to your source directory:
cd /usr/src
wget http://www.hardrock.org/kernel/current-updates/linux-2.4.20-updates.patch

o change into the base directory of your currently installed
  linux source tree (for example, /usr/src/linux-2.4.20) and type:
patch -p1 < /usr/src/linux-2.4.20-updates.patch

Compile your kernel as normal.
