X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.1 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Thu, 18 Mar 2004 02:20:27 -0000 Hello, Just applied the tcp47.patch patch to my system and I anticipated output to the uname -r command that would reflect "p3". Instead the results were unchanged. uname -r 4.9-RELEASE-p2 I applied the patch to the current GENERIC kernel, customized the kernel slightly, then recompiled it. How can I determine if the patch was successfully applied or not? Should I have applied the patch to the GENERIC kernel, then recompiled it before customizing it? Thanks, Bob -- I've learned that whatever hits the fan will not be evenly distributed. FreeBSD 4.9-RELEASE-p2 #0
