Hi, i have this question...

What kernel patches are advisable to merge into a new kernel??

for security and better hardware support??

Thanks to all

The vanilla kernel has excellent security and hardware support.

If you need a driver for a piece of hardware that is not included in the kernel, and there is a driver available, it will compile as a module and doesnt need any patches on the kernel

i asked because when i have installed kernel 2.6.5 vanilla

supermount didn't work because there wasn't kernel support...

now i have downloaded that patch

and was thinking if there was another patch worth installing..

perhaps i didn't ask the right way, maybe because english it's no my first language...

thanks for your reply biggrin.gif

nah, the vanilla has everything 'needed'.....supermount is a nice patch to add though...I do.
