    Okay, I went back to the textbooks and I know a little bit more about
    what I am doing now. But I am trying to modify the ppSCSI patch for the
    2.4.18 kernel, and I am not sure where to put the new additions in the
    /drivers/scsi/Makefile. None of the context lines match up, so I was
    just going to put it in at the end. Any suggestions otherwise? Does it
    make much difference? Thanks!

    |scsi_mod
    |sg
    |parport
    |parport_pc
    |....
    |But ppscsi and epst, the final two drivers I need, are not inherent to
    the system, and I need to know

    "ppSCSI-0.91.patch" as well as
    |"patch-2.3.47-ppSCSI-2" and tried to follow the instructions on the
    download page, but I
    |obviously misunderstood them somewhere. .

    |I have to admit that I am fairly inexperienced with make, or with
    modules in general, and so I was
    |just blindly following the directions. I assume that I am making a
    fairly basic mistake, and I would
    |greatly appreciate it if someone could shed a little light on my
    ignorance.
