Hi-- Anybody out there that has patching expertise? I'm doing it for the first time and need someone to help me, please. Read the documentation/watched video/tried many times. Any clues?
---------------------

Patch: http://drupal.org/files/issues/multisite-d6-2.patch )
Patch utility --> cygwin's
Patch placed inside includes path

Here's the error I got: 

$ cd C:/apache2triad/htdocs/drupal/includes

Sunni Freyer@rainbowend /cygdrive/c/apache2triad/htdocs/drupal/includes
$ patch < multisite-d6-2.patch
can't find file to patch at input line 8
Perhaps you should have used the -p or --strip option?

perhaps you read this already, but here is a detailed module patching instructions page i wrote recently. perhaps this will give you some ideas.

http://drupal.org/node/620014

can't really read the error msg, but it looks like the patch file is not in the location it is looking for it.
