Hello Jay
patches are always applied to sources. Once you've patched them, you
can compile.
First of all you need "bzcat" program on your Linux distribution and
Linux kernel sources in your /usr/src directory.
Go to your kernel root directory, (e.g. /usr/src/linux , where linux
is a symbolic link to your
current kernel source directory) and patch the sources.
Practically you have to do that:
1) cd /usr/src/linux
2) move your skas-2.6.20-v9-pre9.patch.bz2 file in /usr/src/linux directory
you will do something like this:
mv /home/myHome/skas-2.6.20-v9-pre9.patch.bz2 . (the dot indicates the
current directory, that is /usr/src/linux).
3) bzcat skas-2.6.20-v9-pre9.patch.bz2 | patch -p1 --dry-run
if no errors appear, repeat 3 again without --dry-run option.
4) bzcat skas-2.6.20-v9-pre9.patch.bz2 | patch -p1
5) You've done. Now compile your kernel as you like. (compiling the
kernel is not simple, if it's the first time. Look for documentations
on google!!!

Good Luck!
