Hello

How can I patch the linux_base port? I've downloaded the linux_base-7.patch.
But after a "patch < Makefile linux_base-7.patch" it  try download the nw 
files. It has updated something in the Makefile. But it tries still to 
download all old files from linux_base for rh 6.1. Whats wrong?

regards
thomas
