Re: [Lug-Nuts] Compiling the Kernel from Red Hat source

Why not grab 2.2.14 from sunsite, or grab the 2.2.13, and 2.2.14 patches
to upgrade that kernel to the recent version?

You can get kernel source and patches from cdrom.

ftp://ftp.cdrom.com/pub/linux/sunsite/kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.2

Once you get the 2.2.13 and 2.2.14 patches you can apply them
with the command. Put the patches in /usr/src and execute
the following command from /usr/src/linux directory of your
current 2.2.12 source.

# for l in ../patch-2.2.1*; do gzip -cd < $l | patch -p1; done

Thanks to Mike Simons for showing me this command.
