 INSTALL.patches
 -------------------
 
-- apply *.patch patches from docs/     ( DOES THIS WORK???)
+- apply *.patch patches inside patches/
        - cd /usr/lib/perl5/Net
          patch -p0 < Net::IRC.patch
        - cd /usr/lib/perl5/WWW/Search
          patch -p0 < WWW::Search::Google.patch
+
+- alternatively, move the files from patches/
+       - mv patches/Google.pm /usr/lib/perl5/WWW/Search/
+
+UPDATE
+----------------------
+you now not need to patch Net::IRC for the forking patch, it's done
+inside the bot code.  Unfortunately, Net::IRC 0.70 has buggy code that
+does not detect DCC CHAT properly.  To fix the problems identified,
+download the debs (convert to tarball if on non-debian system) from:
