asterisk users - Nov 2005 - How do I apply the asterisk patches?

I've just registered on the Mantis system, and I reported a bug, and
somebody answered me with a patch (something.patch).

That's all good and fine, and I'm really proud of what a good boy I am,
but
how the heck do I apply this patch? :-)

Yes, this is not my greatest moment, but I'd really like to know so I can
apply the patch!

:D

The idea is you type:

cd /usr/src/asterisk (or whatever the patch is for)

then:

patch < something.patch

It may need a little help going in (and don't forget you will need to use
the
same version of Asterisk as the person who created the patch)
