Hi,

Im trying to do this:

Quote:

Lets get ready to patch the kernel

Code:

me@Blazen splash $ vi *.patch

Replace 2.4.20.orig and 2.4.20 with linux in the patch file. In vi
you can do this

Code:

esc
:%s/linux-2.4.20.orig/linux/g
:%s/linux.2.4.20/linux/g
:wq

From the first post here:https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=26494&highlight=bootsplash

Its just the quoted text above that I dont get...
First of all I dont get what Im doing in VI. I suppose theres another way of doing whatever it is this "manual" tells me to do?

What is the file called that I make with "vi *.patch" ?? And why do I the move "*.diff" afterwards?
