Damn Small Linux - Not!

I have found the kernel source for DSL, but not for DSL-N. Could the source be posted so I can configure my own kernel?

Thanks,

Which kernel source do you mean:

1. kernelsource.dsl - this is for DSL and in any case only contains the /documentation & /include directory trees, the knoppix patch and .config files, all from the knoppix 3.4 CD/iso. If this is what you need, you can get them from the knoppix 4.0.2 CD/iso for DSL-N

2. The full kernel source - linux-2.6.12.tar.gz - can be found from kernel.org or mirror sites.

Thank you.

I just wasn't sure if DSL-N used a custom kernel or not. If I can just grab the kernel from kernel.org and apply the 4.02 patch, I have what I need.

I got the 2.6.12 kernel source from kernel.org, added the dsl-n.config amd tried to patch it with the knoppix-kernel.patch from the 4.0.2 cd, but got:

I just tried this and got the same result - no idea why though...
