Compile the latest kernel with the old patch?
Posted: Thu Nov 12, 2009 10:59 pm
I've never compiled a linux kernel before, but I wanted to update my gentoox to the latest stable kernel (2.6.31.6). But, the latest .patch file is for 2.6.16 and hasn't been updated since....
So, would it be a bad idea to compile the latest kernel on my xbox using 2.6.31.6 and then patch it with the old patch?
would this even benefit me in some way?
