Firstly (and I suspect mlord gets almost as many thnak yous as newbie questions, but I'll say it all the same ) a huge thanks to mlord for his great work with the hijack kernel and with generally being a nice guy (as evidenced by his frequent replies to posts here). We really do appreciate you and don't think you are at all mean.

Now a question for the BBS in general. When it comes to applying the first patch, I get:

linux-v2.00b13 $ gpatch -p1 <../rdsfake.patch

can't find file to patch at input line 3

Perhaps you used the wrong -p or --strip option?

The text leading up to this was:

File to patch: 

I should point out that I didn't follow mlord's instructions fully as I am using Solaris/SPARC. On my system, GNU patch is called gpatch. I'm using version 2.5.4. Are there other Solaris users out there that are successfully patching and hacking Empeg? If so, did you do anything special?
