And yet, in the reply, you talk about attaching patches. Can you please explain what's going on here? Did you forget about it while you were writing the three line response? Did you simply ignore the words? Did you assume that it didn't apply to you? Did you merely think it wasn't important? Do you have short-term memory problems? Is there something else I don't know about? I understand that you're a student (or will shortly be one), and so far you're showing *major* learning difficulties, without any apparent self-identification of the fact. If you do actually have some kind of learning difficulty, you're going to have to take charge of it yourself, seek professional advice, use that to work out how you can learn, and start doing it, because if you behave like this in any institution of higher learning, you're going to have big problems, probably very quickly. You've spent two months, with *lots* of explicit recommendations on how you should be modifying your behaviour (i.e. learning), and so far you've utterly failed to do so. It's up to you to seek help in identifying the difficulties you have in learning, and to use the results of that to work out how you can do so. This kernel development environment is *absolutely* the wrong one for you to be doing that exercise in. I doubt that there are many (if any) people on this mailing list who have the knowledge or skills to help you. I am certain that if there are any, none of them would be willing to start the process via email.
