<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">I decided to catch up with the patches, so I tried to install these on my Sun server:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">client-options.patch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">client-testmode.patch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">double-contenttype.patch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">downtime-singlestatus-docs.patch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">hobbitfetch-dynaddr.patch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">infopage-duplicates.patch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">top-solarisclient.patch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">web-cookiehandling.patch</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Courier New">zoomgraph-bgcolor.patch</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Foolishly, I tried to install them in this order. This does not work.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">On my system, web-cookiehandling.patch must be installed before infopage-duplicates.patch will work. Just an FYI.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">And, for newbies like me who haven't used patch before, the command to install a patch appears to be:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">$ cd [top of Hobbit source tree]</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">$ patch -p0 < [patch file]</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">[read output and look for errors, praying you don't see any].</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">To back out a patch that barfs:</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">$ cd [top of Hobbit source tree]</FONT>
<BR><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">$ patch -p0 -R < [patch file]</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">After patching, go through the "make; stop Hobbit; make install; start Hobbit" drill.</FONT>
</P>
<P><FONT SIZE=2 FACE="Arial">Of course, everyone but me probably already knows this backwards and forwards.</FONT>
