I've put all of the source tarballs and patches in /mnt/lfs/sources.  I 
make a subdirectory build directory in lfs.  From there, I copy the 
tarball into the build directory and run the make(s).  So far, this has 
worked up, populating tools as expected (I hope).

When you say "be in the root of the unpacked source tarball directory,"  
wouldn't issuing a ../ look up the tree?  When I run the command, as in 
the book, from the sources dir it can't find the patch so I'm not 
getting something here.

Most likely, I'm missing something in front of my nose but can't see 
it.   When you run this patch, where dir are you running it from and 
what is your directory structure in general?

Thanks,
Burt
