I know I'll have to use the patch program to apply them. But I do hope that there is somewhere a short description of the way to proceed. I've been browsing the manual and the developers handbook, but didn't find what I was looking for. 3) Is it ok if I apply these patches to my freshly installed 4.7-RELEASE kernel sources? Not having IP connectivity kind of complicates things a bit ;-) -- Guido Van Hoecke To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
