Compiling FC3 kernel.

[Juan Pablo Claude]

Lai:
	Thanks for your reply. As to the patches, I actually did try to apply 
the "final" .bz2 compressed patch, but all of the differences has 
already been applied. As I understand it, you are only supposed to 
apply patches with version numbers higher than the version of the 
source.

	Anyway, where is the SPEC file located? and where can I find 
information on how to use rpmbuild?

Thanks.
