I get stuck at the patching of taxonomy.module. I've read several posts talking about difficulties but most deal with non-devs unfamiliar with patch. I'm at least familiar with it but it just doesn't apply cleanly. I'm not a programmer and I can't figure out how to make it work. I've tried it from linux and windows, doesn't seem to be a linefeed type issue but I really am not sure.

Here's the error:

Any ideas?

When I started with Drupal, I was using "lynx --dump ..." to download the patch files on my Linux web server. Lynx was putting additional spaces at the beginning of each line, making it impossible to use the patch file. Now, I download in Windows and SFTP the file to my web server. How are you downloading the .patch file?
