Subject: Proper place for bug report on fdisk
Now that I think about it for as simple as this is I should be able to
correct the C (or C++) . Do you know of any guides to to making a patch
(change log?) or whatever they are called in to a format that they might
accept?

The format that I see on mailing list is somehting like:


//---------------------------------------------------------------------
--- drivers/net/sunhme.c.orig
+++ drivers/net/sunhme.c
@@ -1983,6 +1983,7 @@
         }
         hp->tx_old = elem;
         TXD((">"));
+ udelay(1);


         if (netif_queue_stopped(dev) &&
             TX_BUFFS_AVAIL(hp) > (MAX_SKB_FRAGS + 1))


//---------------------------------------------------------------------

Is this a function of the gcc, vi or what?
