I tried. I had to start from scratch twice. Once with a virgin linux tree,
twice after I attempted to apply the patch ;(. DEATH to the source-code
tree! It made messes of the ISDN and the sound stuff so 'make dep' failed.
Further, it again placed much of the stuff in the default directory.

I am now going to set my default directory to someplace that patch can't
find the files to patch, then enter the name of the file(s) to patch when
it prompts, one at a time. Maybe that will do it ;)!

Cheers,
Dick Johnson
