Running all the way back on Redhat Linux 7.2 on a beasty Pentium Pro 200

I tried the patch command and it sat there for an age and did nothing.

Should I drop the file into the hobbit install dir/hobbitd and run it from
there seeing as that the hobbitd.c file is in that dir ? Or will the patch
command search the entire hdd for hobbitd.c ? Im a bit of a newb and can say
ive never used patch before.

The again I might just edit the line in the hobbitd.c by hand, will that
work ?
