"So I have a lot of modularised and light weight patchs for my window manager" . . . that is blackbox-0.61.1. I have one of many patches called toolbar_menu.patch. The man patch page said that it usually requiers just to make a patch -p0 (for example) < toolbar_menu.patch in the directory where the "sources" (what this mean, just the blackbox archive, the tar.gz, the entire folder of sources before compiling?), but this dosen't work. It tries to patch and tell me that some file isn't there so i must specify the file, and i don't know what to do. There isn't a way to apply patches to the entiry blackbox.tar.gz? Mmmm, sounds stupid? Well, that's it . . .

FW: [newbie] HowTO patch Well, what exactly are you trying to patch and why? It's a bit like say "I have this vehicle, please tell me how to change the cam belt". The answer usually depends on what kind of vehicle it is. >From your message it sounds like you are attempting to apply patches to BlackBox 0.6.1.1. Correct?

FW: [newbie] HowTO patch Please!!!! Help me with this! Hello Call me dummy, but, after reading the man page of patch I sill can't make it owrk well. I'm using Mandrake 8.0 and BlackBox 0.61.1 as my window manager, without any other desktop manager. So I have a lot of modularised and light weight patchs for my window manager. What I have to do with the patch's files? Please take in count that I'm a very basic user of Linux.
