[rtl] Re: Problems with patching

["mshsaint" <mshsaint@direct.ca>]

 Hi Every one
 I currently have kernel v2.0.27  running in my computer and would like to
 patch the rtlinux and do some experience on it.
 So what I have done so far is I downloaded the patches from this page,
 unzipped it and stored it in a disk.
 While listing the files in windows I got these directory names: rtinux-0.5
 and underneath this directory was kernel_patch and etc...
 
 For mounting the files I used the following command in Linux:
 mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt
 But after the mounting in /mnt I had different garbled file names such as
 rtlinu~1 & kernel~1. As Michael said I should use exts filesystems which
 now I am using the msdos ones.
 But the problem is how? Is there anyway I can convert the files from msdos
 to ext2 in Linux? Which command should I use? 
 "Please, I am stuck here :)"
 
 Another problem was, I tried to patch those files to the kernel and it
 started asking me the question : File patch to,
  which files should i mention, or is it another problem because of the
 original problem?
 
 Have a great day
 
 Thanks in advance,
