Copy blackbox-taskbar-patches-0.2.tar.gz to the directory you want to install it in then at the command line(as root) type:

tar xvzf blackbox-taskbar-patches-0.2.tar.gz

This will unpack a new directory in the one you're in. use ls to find what the new directory is called. Then:

cd directoryname

Then read the INSTALL and README files for how to continue.

Hope this helps

;)

Gee, thanx for the RTFM, guy, but no, that didn't help.

There aren't any INSTALL or README files.

Let's say your blackbox source directory is in /usr/src/blackbox. Move the blackbox patch file in /usr/src (not /usr/src/blackbox!) Then cd to /usr/src and type patch -p0 < patch Now recompile blackbox.
