Default Patching release candidates onto your kernel tree

I've got 2.60 patched to rc1. rc2 is out. do I patch that into the tree
patched to rc1 or do I need to back out rc1 and patch a clean 2.6.0 tree
with rc2 (presuming you can do that).

why not use the option --dry-run and see for yourself? (man patch).

Slackware doesn't have any quirks. Other distros have quirks. Slackware's
just pure Linux.
