Downloading the complete sets of sources for 1.4.3 would definitely take a while.  I don't mind compiling on my end for each increment, this machine is pretty quick.  From what I've read on some past mail, going from 1.4.3 is tricky.  For that I'll use a different approach.  So where can I apply these patches:

	I went into /usr/src and did as you suggested, but I don't think it 
worked.  After a beep and a bunch of symbols shot across the screen, I got a prompt asking me 

File to patch:
No file found -- skip this patch? [n]

I choose y because I have no idea what file they are looking for.  The file is a binary one so I can't check if -p1 is right.  I'm afraid more info is still 
needed.  

Thanks for the suggestion.

Ian
