Well, I know what you do different from me ;-) You're in the /usr/src/linux-2.4.7 directory, and the patch refers to files called linux-2.4.7/Documentation... so there is overlap in the path. If the two linux-2.4.7* directories are equal you can go down one directory and patch from there, but in most cases you will find that the person who ran diff was using some other directory name that does not match yours. So this is where the -p1 comes in, which means one qualifier is stripped off the filename as it occurs in the patch. Rob
