This depends on your development platform. If you use the vmware image everything needed should be already installed. I recommend the vmware image as installation is much easier. What is the vmware image? And where can I get it from? > Once I have one of the patching programs installed do I just type > "svn add file" No. You patch the sources, typically with patch -p0 < patchfile.diff OK > Without the quotes.

Depending on your development platform this may be a cygwin shell or a terminal window in the vmware image. So If I install cygwin would it be in the cygwin window? Or a command prompt window? > After the svn add file > line then should I type the file name after svn add file with the file > extension? You "svn add" a file if you want to add it *to the repository*, not to your local copy. Unless you want to add files to the repository (which is only useful if you *create* patches yourself or are a developer) you'll never want to use svn add. I have no idea where this svn add idea comes from. So if I type patch -p0 < patchfile.diff Will anything be sent to the rockbox web site or when I compile? Is patchfile.diff the file name of the patch I want to add? Also I am blind will I be able to use cygwin with a screenreader? Thanks for all your help! Daniel.
