There are a couple of other minor changes elsewhere, but it's entirely up to you whether you upgrade or not. Why do you want ot patch the kernel? If you're running pre-built 2.4.18-3 binaries, then you probably want to be installing an errata kernel binary rather than building a custom kernel. If you are already using a custom build, then it's entirely up to you what patches you want to apply. Cheers, Stephen
