The patch command isn't included in DSL. You need to use apt-get to install it. Or get the package from the debian website and use dpkg -i

walterb, the missing wish can be found by loading the tcltk package from the mydsl repository. wish is the tcl interpreter. As far as the rest, I'm not sure. When I compile programs I use configure and not make configure, but compiling a kernel may be different.

i've got the patch command from debian as advised.i patched the kernelsource patch -p0 < knoppix-kernel.patch
and patch -p0 < knoppix-kernel26.patch --> ok
now running make xconfig ends up with errer - make gcc-2.95 command not found ... error 129 .... xconfig error 2
i've installed gcc.dsl from the repository after dsl-hdinstall as advised in the forum which ist gcc 3.x, do I need to install gcc 2.95?
thank's for your help
