Hello people,

Ok i'm using Mandrake 7.1 wich has kernel 2.2.15 pathed by mandrake. I
want to install 2.2.17 in order to build my own in order to be 100% for
my maschine. But how can i also add the patches added by mandrake. I
searched a bit (since it should be open source) but can't find any
Mandrake specific patch.

I guess the question is, what patches do you need?  I upgraded Mandrake
7.0 to genaric kernel 2.2.16 earlier on my laptop and 2.2.17 on my desktop
now and did not need any patches.  Most source patches for special
features would be for generic kernels anyway.  My laptop uses commercial
sound drivers anyway and I just made sure that my desktop had modules for
my nic and soundcard (skipped modules I never use anyway).
