The source or the built binary? If you mean the source then the above will work... you can't however patch a built binary with a source code patch, these patches are meant to patch uncompiled source only.

Hi

The Patches are listed in Chapter 3 Find the patch you need copy it into /mnt/lfs/soucres

Untar the package you are working on cd /mnt/lfs/sources/Package-name.

Code:
patch -Np1 -i ../Package
The "../" means it will lookin the previous dir "Sources" for the patch.

I was at work when I posted earlier
