The reason it does not work properly is because the patch file is not made
in a conventional way, the directory name is different to yours, this is
why patch has the -p option.
You are in /usr/src/ and using -p0 do;
cd linux
gzip -dc /tmp/kctt/patch/kct0_02-2.2.13-patch.diff.gz | patch -p1 -s
The -p strips off the amount of "/" given in this case it will interpret the
command as
Documentation/Configure.help

But you would need to type "every path, fully for every file to patch".
