patching source code is a trivial task (provided the patch is correct).
some docs on using the 'patch' facility:
http://www.openwall.com/linux/README (the installation instructions apply
to any patch, but may differ for the directories in use)
http://people.redhat.com/dledford/patching.html (basic patch instructions)
the format is usually:
patch < file.patch
the -p argument (ie patch -p1) is used to strip directory names (ie with
-p1 /usr/src/me becomes /usr/src).
the installation instructions for the fam/imon patches should be helpful
here. other SGI OSS projects have this info in their FAQs or install
instructions.
hope this helps.
