[linux-audio-user] Patching the kernel - question

[Josh Lawrence]

I'm confused about how to properly patch a kernel.  I tried to patch a
kernel recently with Mingo's patch, and it failed.  In researching the
problem, I came up with this:

http://kernelnewbies.org/FAQ/HowToApplyAPatch

>From what I can understand, this document is telling me that I would
need to download kernel 2.6 (no incremental versions), and apply the
most recent Mingo patch (as of today, 2.6.16-rt20) from there.  Prior
to reading this, I always thought that you downloaded the most recent
full kernel (as of today, 2.6.16.15), the most recent patch (as of
today, 2.6.16-rt20), and go from there.  Which way is the proper way?
