That's not a problem, they will work. But you should not use 2.4.25, but rather 2.4.31 or even 2.4.32-preX, several security vulnerabilities and bugs have been fixed since, and the code has not changed much, so most of those patches still apply without a glitch. You can also check in my tree, there are several updated patches + the glue needed for them to apply correctly when needed, it may save you some time : http://w.ods.org/kernel/2.4-wt/2.4.31-wt1/patches-2.4.31-wt1/ Regards, Willy
