This directory contains the patch you have to apply to the Linux kernel if you want to use the support for long file names using the OS/2 namespace on the NetWare server. It did not make it into 2.0, but patching your kernel is really no problem. To apply this patch, please take a clean Linux kernel. This patch is against Linux 2.0.7, but any later kernel version in the 2.0.x series should also work fine. Please perform the following two steps: cd /usr/src/linux patch -p1 </path_to_ncpfs/kernel-2.0/lfn-2.0.7.diff Please do not forget the -p1 flag for patch. Here I assumed that your linux kernel resides in /usr/src/linux. After these two steps, you should recompile your kernel the normal way. If anything goes wrong, PLEASE first consult the file /usr/src/linux/README for more information.
