April Fool!
Straight from the department of Segfault.org Information
I am pleased to announce that Segfault.org is once again open for business, all this recent activity over lawyers has in fact been a run up to the April Fool's joke today of the site closing. If you want to hear my mumbling apology then read on, otherwise I'm facing public execution (death by Windows Installation) from the mob already outside my door!
Obviously it was in fact co-ordinated between myself, User Friendly author Illiad and BeDope editor Mike Popovic, with others from Slashdot and Freshmeat in on it too.
However I'd like to thank you all anyway. I received so many e-mails of support saying they you were willing to help, a few lawyers offering to defend Segfault for free and even people offering to donate money just to help, I was overwhelmed. I've been worn out battling with Wired reporters and other websites all wanting the exclusive, and arguing with a few websites that wanted to ruin the joke for everyone before it had been completely played out.
Once again I have to say you are all wonderful people, and I thank you, even though it wasn't a real threat. (And no, I didn't take any of the money:)
Slashdot Mirror
put the patches into your /usr/src directoy. They need not be all of the same type, i.e. some may bz2 others gz..
/usr/src run linux/scripts/patch-kernel
then from
that's it. then:
make (menu|x)?config bzImage modules modules_install
