You need either of these lines:

patch --verbose -p1 -i ../2.6.17-mm6
patch --verbose -p1 < ../2.6.17-mm6

Basically, it does not where to get input unless you supply it on stdin
or you give it an input file name.

Cool, thank you.
BTW, I know it must seem like the most obvious thing in the world, but
the more I google and search Debian help, the less answers I find...
what do you do when applying two patches tells you:
Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Assume -R? [n]
Does that mean the patches are incompatible? I'm actually only
experimenting with the patches, as I can't find a whole lot of info on
the patches either.

Thanks.
