patching 3.9

[Nico Meijer]

Hi Mike,

I usually just track -stable, which suits me better.

You just `make build`, BUT you should read `man release` as it contains
details for building both kernel+userland and XF4.

Short version. As root:
cd /usr
mkdir XF4BLD
cd XF4BLD
lndir ../XF4
make build

If you use i386, instal tk/tcl versions 8.4 first.

That's why I track stable. There's one procedure to follow for kernel
+userland and one for XF4. I build releases and roll them out to a bunch
of machines. Save for sliced bread, this is it.

HTH and good luck... Nico
