Help with patching a Kernel tar ball.

[Antony Stace <antony@example.com>]

Hi 

I want to build a new kernel using the source from www.kernel.org.  What
I want to know is if I want to patch the file

linux-2.4.2.tar.gz

do I only need to patch it with

patch-2.4.2-pre4.bz2

or do I need to patch it with all the patches


patch-2.4.2-pre4.bz2
patch-2.4.2-pre3.bz2
patch-2.4.2-pre2.bz2
patch-2.4.2-pre1.bz2

I have had a look in the Kernel HowTo but can someone please tell me the
command/s I need to patch this/these file/s into the kernel.



Cheers

Antony
