[olug] Patching the kernel

[Vincent]

Just grab the kernel binary or it's source from Redhat.  It's already
patched with ext3.  You can find 2.4.7 and 2.4.9 here:
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i386/
or
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/updates/7.2/en/os/i686/

Here's the documentation:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/RHL-7.2-Manual/custom-guide/kernel.
