Ok, easier then: open gedit, copy the contents of one file into the
gedit window, then save as the name of the file. do the same for the
other. by default it will try and save it in you directory, that is
fine. open a terminal, then do "cd" (not "cd acpi"). then the other
instructions...

I apologize for having to do this manually: the patch that will go
into the next version of Linux is on it's way, so this will be
automatically installed in the future :-)
