Please note that this is rather rude, and very restrictive. Is your patch kit going to help me with the bus mouse driver I have to patch in? Or make things hard? Will it work with, or cause problems for those installing the patches for using X386 ? Will the X386 patches be incorporated? Granted I have not seen the patchkit software, I would be happy if you allowed a modular approach, so that I could add a patch to the 'patchkit' directory, edit some central config file, and run the software. I may then select the new patch, and have it applied. Could all patches be kept in a compressed form? -- David Le Blanc : Email: david@mlb.geomechanics.csiro.au : `Sort of a cross between a Jaguar CSIRO Division of Geomechanics, : and a freight train.' the Alien P.O.
