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 >I myself would be upset if the linux_base ports was updated without >further changes.
