Do __EXACTLY__ the following:
1. cd /usr/src
2. gzip -dc /the/location/of/the/patch/file.gz | patch -p0
(Change the "/the/location/of/the/patch/file.gz" to be the file name where you stored the patch-2.0.12.gz or similar file.) If you forget the '-p0' parameter then the patch program will put new files in a very strange location.
This is covered in the README file in /usr/src/linux.

Since version 2.0.11 I've been having problems applying patches to my kernel tree. Every time I apply a ptach files from the source tree are thrown out of the tree, Some times to /usr/src sometimes to "/". Does this happen to others. Does it effect the source tree in any way that will disable my ability to compile new versions of the kernel?
