There's a program to apply patches, typically called "patch" Try "man patch". If your system doesn't have, and can't get patch, just read the patches and edit the appropriate files by hand. It's not particularly difficult.
Incidentally, I want to point out that there's no good reason to cc [EMAIL PROTECTED] on a regular post. I've been seeing a lot of that lately. Also, questions like this aren't even rsync questions. I'm sure there's something like comp.os.unix.introduction, or something similar, on usenet.

For instance the following email points to the links where we can download patches ---------------------------------------------------- On Tue, 10 Jul 2001, Steve Ladendorf wrote: > Is there something I'm doing wrong?

However, a better fix is to apply this patch: http://www.clari.net/~wayne/rsync-nohang1.patch This fixes a very common hang problem, and makes -v safe to use again. Since you are also transferring large quantities of files, I would be very interested in knowing if rsync still hangs after applying that patch. If it does, try applying this patch: http://www.clari.net/~wayne/rsync-nohang2.patch The second patch fixes a much rarer bug, and it would be great to know if someone had run into it in simple, real-world conditions. ..wayne.. -------------------------------------------------- How do I apply these patches, could someone help me on that.
