Patch: remove thebootsect_helpercode and a comment fix also.

To create a patch for a single file, it is often sufficient to do: - SRCTREE= /devel/linux-2.4 + SRCTREE= ~/src/linux-2.6.x + MYTREE= ~/src/linux-2.6.x-foo MYFILE= drivers/net/mydriver.c - cd $SRCTREE - cp $MYFILE $MYFILE.orig + cd ~/src + cp -a $SRCTREE $MYTREE + cd $MYTREE vi $MYFILE # make your change - diff -up $MYFILE.orig $MYFILE > /tmp/patch + cd .. + diff -up $SRCTREE/$MYFILE $MYTREE/$MYFILE > /tmp/patch To create a patch for multiple files, you should unpack a "vanilla", or unmodified kernel source tree, and generate a diff against your own source tree. For example: - MYSRC= /devel/linux-2.4 + MYTREE= ~/src/linux-2.6.x-foo - tar xvfz linux-2.4.0-test11.tar.gz - mv linux linux-vanilla + cd ~/src + tar xvfj linux-2.6.6.bz2 + mv linux-2.6.6 linux-vanilla wget http://www.moses.uklinux.net/patches/dontdiff - diff -uprN -X dontdiff linux-vanilla $MYSRC > /tmp/patch - rm -f dontdiff + diff -uprN -X dontdiff linux-vanilla $MYTREE > /tmp/patch "dontdiff" is a list of files which are generated by the kernel during the build process, and should be ignored in any diff(1)-generated
