Pádraig. I hadn't realised that there was a network connection in where the tape box is, so now connected to the internet. I've got the tar file and untarred it. Now I guess I don't completely follow this line:- wget 'http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=patch;h=88545ad0' -O- | patch -p1
I've two files from Paul. shred1.diff 0001-shred-shred-one-block-even-for-empty-files.patch Do I edit the text in the line where is see the word patch, and insert in both places the shred1.diff file name? Then do the same with the 0001-shred-shred-one-block-even-for-empty-files.patch after? Or ..blinding flash of light.. maybe I need to add < shred1.diff to the end of the line Sorry to be so dim, must be my time of life.

Probably if the libc's are compat. Otherwise if the tape box has a compiler, you could transfer the patch and tarball and compile there. Otherwise you could look at static compilation on the orig box.
