Hi,<br><br>I am trying to build a custom fedora kernel on a fedora (FC15) machine by reading the <br>article: <a href="http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel">http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Building_a_custom_kernel</a><br>
but i am unable to make any progress as my changes are not getting reflected. <br>So I have query about the procedure given in the article. The article asks to first create <br>hardliks between files in .new and .orig directories and then to make changes and to .new directory and to<br>
generate a patch by a diff between the .orig and .new directories. But I am just wondering if the <br>files in both the directories are hardlinks then how can diff work because after changing a file in .new directory<br>the file in .orig directory should also change.<br>
