Okay, I've figured out a couple of things. > - I grabbed patch-o-matic-ng-20040302, and tried it.

By deleting the line 'Requires: linux < 2.6.0' from the info files for these two parches, I got pom-ng to apply both of them to kernel 2.6.3 with complaint. The kernel then built with no trouble, although the option help texts weren't available in 'make xconfig'. However I haven't tested the modules yet. But it seems that at least these two extensions are close to ready for kernel 2.6. > - Even though I try to run runme in batch mode, it always asks where my > iptables source code is.

Looking through the runme script again, I figured out that we have a new option for specifying the kernel and iptables source paths: --path $KERNEL_DIR:$IPTABLES_DIR Of course this needs to be documented for the user. And, I should be able to set an environment variable IPTABLES_DIR just as I do KERNEL_DIR, in order to avoid typing the directories on the command line each time.
