Ok, I am removing what little hair I have left on my head.

I am trying to patch the current kernel of 2.4.21-rc3 with the
linux-abi (COFF / Sco emulation).

Anyway,. have had to manually edit to get some of the stuff working.

Now on some of the lines I am getting:

patch ***** malformed patch at line xxxxxx: <some stuff>

Exactly what the heck is that telling me?

And exactly WHAT is the stuff in the patch that is

@@ -#,# +#,# @@

doing or telling me as well ?


Thanks ..
