All right, now that I let things be.... I am currently experiencing another
error:

 ==> Applying patch download/insensitive-iain.diff

The only thing I have found is this

I am not sure on one goes about doing this. I am a newbie in the world of
Unix, more so, Solaris.

Any help would be really appreciated...

   To be honest.. when I saw this error, I kinda ctrl-c it :-(. I
   know it tries to proceed afterwards...
    

	Let GAR do its job, and you'll have GARNOME.
