Similar little clarification patch got accepted in 2.5.63 and I think this
could be helpful in 2.4.x kernel tree too.
Best regards,

- You can also upgrade between 2.4.xx releases by patching. Patches are
distributed in the traditional gzip and the new bzip2 format. To
install by patching, get all the newer patch files, enter the
- directory in which you unpacked the kernel source and execute:
+ top level directory of the kernel source (linux-2.4.xx) and execute:
- gzip -cd patchXX.gz | patch -p0
+ gzip -cd ../patch-2.4.xx.gz | patch -p1
or
- bzip2 -dc patchXX.bz2 | patch -p0
+ bzip2 -dc ../patch-2.4.xx.bz2 | patch -p1
(repeat xx for all versions bigger than the version of your current
source tree, _in_order_) and you should be ok. You may want to remove
