it's really easy. The 'diff' utility creates the patch file, based on the
original and the new file.

eg. if you have changed linux/arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S, and the original
file is linux/arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S.orig, then send me the output of the
following command:

	diff -u linux/arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S.orig linux/arch/ppc/kernel/entry.S

you can use 'diff -rNu linux-2.4.17-TUX-A0 linux' to diff two trees, but
in that case run 'make mrproper' in both trees so that no build related
files are around.

always check out the diff that you are sending, whether it's really what
you want to send.
