Hi Suriyah,

you can do some --dry-run on the 2.4.20 you already have and then patch
you up comfortably to latest -pre using "patch-kernel" in scripts
folder.

For 2.4.20 the link is
http://bytesex.org/patches/2.4.20/patch-2.4.20-kraxel.gz

If you like to see it first on 2.4.20, save your .config if you want to
use it again, make clean and mrproper. To follow the new 2.6.0
conventions put the patch into your 2.4.20 sources on top level path.
You can edit the main Makefile there and set an extraversion. I use
-Xv4l2.

Unpack the patch there and spend some time to read what is written there
in an editor :)

Then you can do (man patch? - Kernel Howto?) "patch --verbose --dry-run
-p1 < patch-2.4.20-kraxel" or whatever. (man diff is another intresting
subject.)

If you are satisfied with the results, remove the --dry-run and do it.

Put your .config in there again, do what needs to be done, adjust your
bootloader and boot into the new kernel.

If up, cd in your bttv-0.9.11, do a make and a make install.

Greetings

Hermann
