Hi all,
Seeing in how I write code and stuff I should probably know this, but I
don't. How do I use diff to create patches? The ones I have managed to
create don't install properly. Something about "can't find file to patch at
line <xxx>". I'm obviously overlooking something, but I can't tell what it
might be. Any idea?

Either use "diff -c file1 file2 > patchfile" or "diff -u file1 file2 >
patchfile." The first form creates a context diff, and the second creates
something called a unified diff. Either should work.
