I have a 2.6.13 kernel from kernel.org I need to add supermount to it so
I downloaded the supermount-2.0.4-2.6.3.patch.gz and the md5 sum file, the
file md5 checks fine. Then i gunziped it to supermount-2.0.4-2.6.3.patch
Then, in my linux-2.6.13 directory i ran this:
patch -p1 -n < ../supermount-2.0.4-2.6.3.patch
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input.

What am i doing wrong? All i ever get is that garbage message. I visually
examined the patch file and it seems like a valid patch to me (but I have
only cursory knowledge of patch files)

Sourceforge shows:
supermount for kernel 2.6

Thanks
Eric
