</div> thanks for that i have set up the pan news reader. i tried applying<br>
patch but it dint work.<br>
guess have to check git apply for that.<br>
also, how do u clone a particular git tree for a particular tag<br>
for example<br>
if i use git clone<br>
git://<a href="http://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git
linux-2.6" target="_blank">git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git<br>
linux-2.6</a><br>
it will clone the linus latest tree but if i want to clone only till<br>
rc4 or rc5 of his tree how to do it.<br>
<br>
Warm Regards,<br>
Ravi Kulkarni.<br>
