ok, even more detailed:

"patch" is the name of the program you use to change the files and "patch.file" was the name I took
as placeholder for the file with the patch in it.

so do the following:

1. copy the text in a file and save it under the name "mypatch" in the directory where the
file config.sub lies

2. login in a shell and use the command 'cd' to go into that directory

3. enter the command

		patch < mypatch

in the shell

4. read the man page:

	man patch

5. feel happy :)

cheers,
