If you're applying the gobohide patch to a stock kernel then you'll
need to download the Linux recipe, uncompress it and take the patch
from there. You can also take the patch directly from our recipe
search tool:

http://recipes.gobolinux.org/r/?list=Linux&ver=2.6.32.3-r1

Once you've saved the patch file to your hard disk (assuming you saved
it to /tmp/01-gobohide.patch), cd to the kernel sources dir (eg: cd
/usr/src/linux) and patch the kernel tree using the command "patch -i
/tmp/01-gobohide.patch -p1".

Then run 'make menuconfig', go to file systems and make sure that
GoboHide is selected. After that the standard procedures to compile
the kernel apply.

Good luck,
