How do I "apply" the appended patch? I understand there must be some
command, and to that I must give ur patch and the original
"lib/libc/rpc/clnt_vc.c" file as arguments. What command?

I suppose before that I'll have to give the repository name etc ...
what is that?

I can issue this command from anywhere right? Or do I have to change
directories to someplace?

Any usual commands would do? "ls" "mv" "nano" and so on?
