The patch file is "patch-int-2.4.0.1.gz". After I open it using the WinZip, there is only a patch-int-2.4.0.1 file. I couldn't open it. What is wrong? > What I think is wrong is that you have a very, very great deal of learning to do. A linux kernel patch is just a text file, a diff between the source tree of a standard linux kernel and a kernel modified for crypto. I would suggest that you first: * Install linux on a computer * Learn how to build your own kernel from source * Learn how to use the patch and diff utilities * Come back and talk to us in about 6 months after you understand the basics. I can sympathize with the enormous learning curve you face, but there is very little I or anyone else on this list could do for you until you've learned a bit more. Hint number one: a Linux operating system source patch is of absolutely no use at all on a Windows operating system. Go forth and study. -- ------------------------------------------------------ Nuke bin Laden: Dale Amon, CEO/MD improve the global Islandone Society gene pool. www.islandone.org ------------------------------------------------------ - Linux-crypto: cryptography in and on the Linux system Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/linux-crypto/
