applying SKAS patch to FC5 2.6.18

Hello all,

I'm trying to apply the SKAS v8.2 patch to FC5 kernel 2.6.18.  I
d/l'ed the source rpm, placed the patch in %_topdir/SOURCES/ and
edited the %_topdir/SPECS/kernel-2.6.spec file to include the patch.
However, the patch defines a new symbol, CONFIG_PROC_MM or something
similar, and this appears to break things on the first go through of
line 1068 in the .spec file.  I specified target=i686 and the
corresponding .config files
(%_topdir/SOURCES/kernel-2.6.18-i?86*.config) seem to have a problem
because they do not address this symbol.  I tired modifying the first
.config file that is processed (kernel-2.6.18-i586-smp.config) by
adding:
# CONFIG_PROC_MM is not set
This seemed to allow the first config file to be applied but to be
honest, I'm not sure of the implications of doing this.  I'm thinking
I'll need to set this to something in one fo the config files, but I'm
not entirely sure which one and -WHY-.  Can someone please point me in
the right direction.

Respectfully,
Christopher Taylor
