Linux 2.6.0-test5, How To Incrementally Upgrade

Posted by timothy on from the patch-by-patch dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Linux creator Linus Torvalds recently announced the 2.6.0-test5 Linux kernel, bringing the release of a stable 2.6 one step closer. KernelTrap quickly followed by posting a guide that walks bleeding-edge Linux fans through the process of upgrading from 2.6.0-test4 to 2.6.0-test5, using a tiny 706 KB patch."

    So, it's exactly like upgrading any other kernel version, just without the "make dep"? Amazing.

    Apparently, 640 KB is not enough for everybody.

    Though, I would have never expected that it was Linux for which it would not be enough.
