Hi,

I am new to FreeBSD and I am attempting to get my soundblaster 32 sound
card
to work.  I found that I needed Luigi Rizzo's pnp kernel mods, so I
proceeded to download them from
http://www.iet.unipi.it/~luigi/pnp971020.tgz.

After extracting the conents the README file contained this line

-snip
* apply the patches contained in "patches.225" to the following
    files:

Upon opening the file "patches.225" I found a lot of cryptic looking
text like

-snip

My question is how exactly do I apply the patches?  Am I missing some
info
about how this is done?

Thanks for any help in advance,
