1/Copy the patch file to /usr/src/linux (or the the folder containing your linux source).
2/Go to /usr/src/linux
gzip -cd patch-file.gz |patch -p1
OR
bzip2 -cd patch-file.bz2 |patch -p1
(if the patch file is bz2 format). |

| The patch you're applying may expect linux to be in a certain directory. For example if you're trying to use the preempt patch for 2.4.19-pre7 it expects the directory to be named 2.4.19-pre7. You can open the patch file in a text editor and the directory name is obvious. |
