I run NetHack from Linux via sudo apt-get install. Is there a way for me to apply patches?
- Not directly. `apt-get install` is giving you a binary (i.e. pre-compiled) version that you can't patch against, because you aren't running the compiler yourself. However, what you can do is to download the source separately, and patch/compile/install that. It's possible to do this via apt, but I wouldn't recommend that because it's quite complex; downloading the source from nethack.org and following the instructions there may be easier.
