hi fellows linuxers,
i have the following question. lets say i download the kernel
2.0.4 in its "full" source (talkin about 5.9 MB). lets say i install the
kernel. now the question. if i decide to go to kernel 2.0.10 lets say but
not downloading it completely but going through patches what is the
correct way to do it?
a) install the patch for 2.10.0 at once?
or
b) install patch 2.0.5 , then 2.0.6 then 2.0.7 and so on untill i get to
2.0.10?
plz send some answer cause i am ready to do some upgrading and i would
like to do it right
thanks in advance
