To apply:

	for i in linux-2.4.18-pre3-* ; do
		patch -p1 -s -N -E -d linux/ <$i
	done

The patches for 2.4.18-pre3 consist of the 2.4.9 versions plus some 
updated copies for the bits that needed manual merging.  The 2.4.9 
version is not against base 2.4.9, but Red Hat's tree (see rawhide 
for a copy).
