2150	Kernel upgrade using patch files	Thomas	bdubbs@…	"Hi,

here is just a small patch on the books XMLs which deals with the kernel.  
When upgrading to a new kernel patch level (e.g. 2.6.24 --> 2.6.24.1, or even now from 2.6.24.1. to 2.6.24.2) the book forces us to download the full kernel package (which is ~46 MB) while just a few days ago we already have downloaded the base version.
With this modification I introduce the usage of the patch-x.y.z.p.bz2 files provided on kernel.org which is a patch on the base version. In the current status, it is just 16.6K, much less in size than the full tarball.
