No, "you might want" no vague instructions like "apply the patch". No options period. Just a list of the correct commands to enter in the correct order to patch the kernel for the most common options that would apply to those new to linux.
If you or some one could do this I I can't tell you how much I would appreciate it. Thank you in advance.
How to rebuild the knoppix 2.4.20-xfs kernel.
# cd /usr/src
# wget
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v...2.4.20.tar.bz2
# tar xvfj linux-2.4.20.tar.bz2
# apt-get install kernel-patch-xfs
apt-get will creat the directory tree /usr/src/kernel-patches
# rm -f linux
# ln -s linux-2.4.20 linux
# patch -sp0 < knoppix-kernel.patch
# patch -sp0 < linux-2.4.20-ptrace.patch
# zcat kernel-patches/all/xfs/xfs-snapshot-2.4.20-all.patch.gz | patch -sp0

Then edit the fourth line of Makefile changing
