Applying a patch to source code

[Digital Froggy]

I downloaded the the source code for koffice 1.1 beta 3. On the koffice website they said to dowload a couple of patches to apply to the source code to fix a couple bugs. I dowload the two pathes and they are saved as .diff files. My question is how in the heck to I apply them to the source code before I compile it? :confused: Thanks for your help! :D

The manual for "patch" lists everything you need to know. Generally it's something like:

patch -p0 < patch.diff
