According to Mel Seder:
I went to our site http://www.muug.mb.ca/fedora-updates.html and read it and then downloaded the two patch files. I read about the patch command in "Running Linux" published by O'Reilly as well as running and reading "info patch".
As I recall, for CORE 1 I just went in and edited sources (maybe yum.conf also) by hand because I didn't realize that what the gobbly gook in the patch file did or that I even needed the patch command.

All this effort.
What effort?!? You can just copy the above commands and paste them into a terminal window... (Of course, you'd have to have downloaded the patch files first.)
Last time it was just a matter of changing two lines in a file. I guess it's similar this time. For those of us who are Luddites, what are the lines this time, what files are they in, and what do they look like?
Well, if you want to go through the trouble of (and potential error in) hand-editing the files, it should all be fairly obvious from reading the content of the patch files which are included in the web page referred to above. RTFWP! :)
Of course, a Liddite would probably shun web browsers, and anything to do with the Internet and Linux, for that matter! ;)
