Re: Boot Console on LCD (fbcon) second try...

Hi,

i found this:
(http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&threadm=15278.9529.252000.731861%40honolulu.ilog.fr&rnum=5&prev=/groups%3Fq%3Dpatch%2B%2522cvs%2Bdiff%2522%2Bproblems%26hl%3Den%26lr%3D%26ie%3DUTF-8%26oe%3DUTF-8%26sa%3DN)

"Unless I remember my own experience incorrectly, it already is fixed.
For a long while, actually. It's called the '-p' option of patch.
"cvs diff" output usually needs "patch -p0". It's the change in
default status of -p, going from "-p0" to "-p infinity" to suit POSIX,
which broke this particular usage of patch. Not CVS."

That would mean i can use cvs diff for patches??? (seems to be easier to
   me...)

Greetings, Patty
