Yep. I don't want to answer the heaps of messages ``I made make smth, and
then tried the patch-kernel script, and it failed miserably :('', nor
do I want to get this kind of problems, when I visit someone who has problems
with the kernel, I make config, and it says to me it has been cut, ...
(Murphy dictates, that in this case this guy doesn't have the full
sources any more, and (s)he doesn't usually have a MODEM ...).
One thing nice in Linux is, that it is distributed as a big blob :)
(Compare to the patching-fun for Minix!)
