I'm just trying to find out how to use cpio or diff I guess to apply the changes. On the website there's the patch files or cpio archive to download, from what I can make out it extracts the files needed. There isn't much in the way of instructions, I thought perhaps there is a specific directory that I extract it from and maybe some other procedures that are perhaps common to applying these sorts of things.
