Hi, If the patch is in one file or many files doesn't really matter. Basically, you would: # cd /usr/ports/www/dillo # make extract # cd work # patch < /full/path/to_patch If everything worked allright, you'll see messages saying that hunk 1 succeded, hunk 2 succeded and so on. Otherwise, hunk 1 failed... # cd .. (placing you in /usr/ports/www/dillo again) make install clean Make sure you have a up-to-date ports tree (i.e. make sure that the dillo port is 7.1, as the patch is for dillo-7.1). Good luck! -- Martin Karlsson
