No, it's supposed to be real fast and generate copious output on your monitor detailing what files are touched by the changes of the patch. You probably missed the '<' redirection shown above. The patch(1) utility reads the diff of changes from standard input. If you don't redirect its stdin with `patch < file' it waits for input from the terminal. - Giorgos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
