[comp.os.minix] How to apply patches?

cc1@valhalla.cs.ucla.edu (Max Kislik) (05/26/89)

Hi,
Does anyone know how to apply patches correctly on Minix?

Let me describe my problem:  I have Minix 1.2 installed, but I always get
the irritating blanking of the screen since I have EGA.
I got the patch from bugs.nosc.mil to fix the problem, and I also got
the program "patch" which should supposedly do the job.
However, patch complains about something like "a new type of C patches 
which it can't handle".
Can someone help with this problem? 

Max.

I also would like to know the answer to this question, and also I would like to
know if there is a way to do the patches on a Sun running 3.4 SunOs?
(man does not show a "patch" program on my Sun).
