I would expect if the 'src.orig' and 'src' trees are structured like '/opt/uClinux/src', that, $ cd /opt/uClinux $ patch < src.diff Should work. What does the prompting from patch(1) look like? What does the top of one of the diff's look like; the first two lines with the pathnames? How does it compare to the file structure as seen from /opt/uClinux/src. -- Crist J.
