Hi BSD fans,

I'm sure that I can't be the only person who has
had this problem. I managed to get the patchkit 0.2.3
all 1.8 meg of it! I unpacked it all according to the
notes that come with it. 

However it bombed out when applying the first patch with
an fatal error. I looks at the file /patch/tmp/log and
found that the patches program needed a file called mkmakefile.c
or something similar. What can I be doing wrong? The notes claim
that the patch-kit is for 'virgin' BSD installations such as I have.

Is it me or the patchkit?



/Duncan
