But, how can I do it? Let's say your modified tree is in the current directory and called linux-2.4.10. Make sure the tree is clean (make mrproper should do for the files generated by the kernel build) and unpack an original 2.4.10 tree: tar xzf /where/ever/linux-2.4.10.tar.gz mv linux linux-2.4.10.orig now run diff -urN linux-2.4.10.orig linux-2.4.10 >linux-2.4.10-changes.diff this should produce a standard kernel patch, that you can (try to) apply to a different kernel tree in the usual way: cd linux-2.4.x patch -p1 < ../linux-2.4.10-changes.diff Rene. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
