Maybe this belongs to the linuxppc-dev group but I will ask it
here anyway.
After having my USB printer work I wanted to see if my USB Zip250
would work. I looked at the linux-usb mailing list archives and
found that some people were working on it and that some devel
kernels 2.3.41-? could be made to work. So I went to ftp.kernel.org
and found the following files -
v2.3/linux-2.3.40.tar.bz2
testing/pre-patch-2.3.41-X.bz2 where X=[1,2,3]
My question is: Do I need to patch all 3 in order or should I just
patch with the last file - in this case 3.
Also, does this include all of the latest 2.3.39 linux-pmac-devel
from linuxcare.com.au?
Thanks very much,
Ramprasad

You just need the greatest 'pre' number, currently 2.3.41-pre3.

I only boot vanilla kernels on my PowerMac 7200. 2.2.15-pre4 works, and
with a little bit of tweaking, 2.3.41-preXX works too. It's too much of
a PITA to work with loads of patches outside the main kernel source
tree.
I've send a couple small patches off to Cort. Let me know if you can't
build on 2.3.41-preXX and I'll send the fixes to you and the lists.
