BUT: _PLEASE_ use diff -u to generate a useable diff with context!
Stuff like
> diff -r linux/fs/binfmt_aout.c /mnt/linux-2.0.22/fs/binfmt_aout.c > 35a36,39 > > #ifdef BINFMT_NAMES > > #define AOUT_BINFMT_NAME "aout" > > #endif > >
is _nonsense_ because if I added two lines in the beginning of that file in my personal kernel, the patch will be misapplied. Not good.
Oh yes, and say ":%g/^Only/d <Return>" (assuming you're using vi), which deletes the superfluous "Only in foo: bar" lines.
