1)  Make sure you're applying the right patch for your kernel version.
    imon-0.0.1-2.2.13 should work on a 2.2.13 or 2.2.14 kernel.  If you
    don't have kernel source, start at http://www.kernel.org/mirrors/
2)  To apply the patch, follow the instructions at the top of the patch :)
    If you've saved the patch as ~/imon-0.0.1-2.2.13, then cd to the root
    of your kernel source tree, and type "patch -p 1 < ~/imon-0.0.1-2.2.13"
    You should see output like the following:
        patching file `Documentation/Configure.help'
        patching file `Documentation/imon.txt'
        patching file `fs/Config.in'
        patching file `fs/Makefile'
        patching file `fs/attr.c'
        patching file `fs/exec.c'
        ...
3)  To recompile your kernel, see the instructions in the README file
    included with the kernel source.  Also the linux kernel HOWTO is
    available from many sites listed at http://www.linuxdoc.org/mirrors.html

If you haven't compiled a working kernel, you might work on that first,
before applying the imon patch, just to make sure you've got it going OK
without imon.  Once you're building kernels that you can boot from, then
try applying the patch, reconfigure with imon enabled, recompile, etc.

P.S.  I forgot step 0: find a friend who's done this before, buy them the
beverage of their choice, and watch them do steps 1-3.  Lower risk of
repetitive stress injury that way.
