Hello everyone,
Okay the last patch I was told it was just a hack, so I decided to make it much easier for everyone ;-) Now the first step is to take one of the patches that I supplied in this email. For example I am going to use squashlzma-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.patch and copy it to my rpm build environment. Next I change directory to my rpm build environment, so in my case: cd $HOME/rpmbuild (for users using the default) cd /usr/src/redhat
Next download and install the kernel source. For this example I downloaded kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.src.rpm and to install it use the following command: rpm -ivh kernel-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.src.rpm
Next I apply the patch using the following command: patch -p0 < squashlzma-2.6.25.9-76.fc9.patch
Now the last step naturally takes the longest, but it is the build step. In my case I only want to build the binary packages with a target of i686, so I typed in the following: rpmbuild -bb --target=i686 SPECS/kernel.spec
Wait for a long while, and wahla, you are the proud parents of a new baby kernel package with squash+lzma support. I supplied the linux-2.6-squashfs-lzma.patch as well if you want to try and patch any other fedora kernel.
Remember always Good Luck, and have fun ;-)
Sean
