    Hi,

    Just a quick question about updating your kernel.
    If i am downloading a newer kernel from www.kernel.org there are a few different types of files.
    This seems to be the Latest
    linux-2.6.9.tar.gz 44435 KB 18/10/2004 00:00:00
    And then there are Patches
    patch-2.6.25.bz2 9258 KB 17/04/2008 03:15:00

    Do i need to install the 2.6.9 version first and then update the patch?
    I have no problems installing the newer kernel its just a matter of what file?

    Ed
