I have found loki_update to work very well.  It was the update script 
that was broken, and that's fixed by the first patch.  OK... so how do 
you apply it... :-)

I would suggest that, for the first patch, you do it in X with the 
following command

/where/i/installed/ut2003/updater/loki_update

This should avoid the problems with the script.  Of course it isn;t 
working right now anyway, as unreal.epicgames.com won't give me the 
updates.txt list.

BTW, I really dislike that /where/i/hid/it sort of notation, because you 
just know that some twit will type exactly that and then wonder why it 
didn't work!  Perhaps a more *nixish way would be 
${UT2003_ROOT}/whatever ...
