OK I have not managed to get this working with CentOS so have downloaded and
installed Fedora Core 4, at the minute it does not have kernel 2.6.13 on and
I'm guessing that up2date will put the latest on for me, after that do I
just follow the instructions below?

Regards

Martyn

This is the procedure I use for updating Fedora Core Linux with the web100
patches.  You will have to figure out how CentOS manages kernel sources and
how to get them on to your system, but once you have them there it's pretty
much the same from the "patch" line on.  This assumes you have installed the
kernel source RPM on the system, which gets dropped in /usr/src/redhat, and
you have to use rpmbuild to get the tar file unpacked and all the Fedora
patches to the kernel installed (that's what the first few lines do).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
cd /usr/src/redhat/SPECS
rpmbuild -bp kernel-2.6.spec
cd /usr/src/redhat/BUILD/kernel-2.6.xx/linux-2.6.xx
patch -b -p1 < web100-kernel-patch (you supply the path and filename)

edit the Makefile and change EXTRAVERSION to what you want the last part of
the kernel name to be

make mrproper

figure out what file in configs matches your configuration (smp, i686, etc)
cp configs/<config file> .config

make oldconfig
supply answers to the web100 questions

make
make modules_install
make install
