[SlugBug] kernal patch

[chris]

hi
i would appreciate help in installing a kernal patch for suse 8.1 (i assume kernal 2.4.x)
ideally in the form of a list of unix commands for the patch at 
http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~john/computer/hk/    and            
http://www.eklhad.net/linux/app/hq_space.c

these both modify the keyboard for one handed touch typing allowing 
RSI sufferers chance to rest an injured hand
Damaging the remaining hand is a trap some fall into but with sense and research
this system is a big help see http://www.billbuxton.com/Matias94.html
for more detail

a linux solution at   http://www.fourtytwo.de/    looks very promising

hardware solutions ie half a keyboard  literally can leave room for a graphics tablet or
help more portable computers stay compact
thanks in anticipation for your help
chris
