Patching Kernel 2.4.4. Fails Often

["Stephen D. Cohen" <scohen@xybion.com>]

Gang,

	I must be doing something wrong.  I just unpacked the 2.4.4. kernel
and attempted to apply the appropriate RTLinux patches.  I got a whole host
of errors of the type "this patch would create this file which already
exists, assume -R?".  I answered no in all cases and yes to the following
error message.

	What really scares the heck out of me here is that the patches
didn't just apply cleanly.  Anybody else had this problem?  What gives?

Regards,

Steve
