Ubuntu kernel patches

[Julien Poissonnier]

Yes, but the kernel tree in linux-source-2.6.8.1.tar.bz2 allready 
contains the appied patches and the software suspend patch won't apply 
against that three.
I could download the source from kernel.org and try to apply the patches 
in /usr/src/linux-patches after I have applied the software suspend 
patch but they are named patch-2.6.8.1-1 .. 14 so I don't know what they 
actually do... I'd prefer to know what each patch does without trying to 
figure it out from the patch contents :)
