I have my doubts that you could successfully apply his patch to the default Mandrake kernel. You could try the -ck patchset, as IIRC, that's the one that Studio To Go! uses and I assume it has Ingo's patch as part of it. When to configure the kernel, you'll want the option "Complete Preemption." Dana
