i have had excellent luck for a long time running doing similar to the following:
1. cd /usr/src/ (i store linux in /usr/src/linux/) 2. mv /tmp/patch.123.bz2 storage/ 3. bunzip2 storage/patch.123.bz2 4. review patch 5. patch -p0 < storage/patch.123 6. find linux/ -name "*.rej" 7. ...
and all is well. very rarely do i find reject files. you may add or detract from the list as is appropriate.
