alright thanks, the reason i thought you needed internet/cvs was because of the way that the winehq patch-making page was worded...it says to use cvs diff (instead of regular diff). I thoguht that there may be a difference in the 2, so I didnt want to make the diffs with diff when they required cvs diff. But now that I know, i will submit in diff format...
Maybe the winehq site maintainer (alexandre?) could make that a little more clear (for us patch-contributing newbies/relative newbies)

Would there be anyone willing to make diff's for me when I have a patch to post? if so, could you
please
email me directly so I know who to talk to?
Thanks in advance
Well I would be glad to make diffs for you but it really is not required that you have CVS or the Internet to make propper diffs.
diff -u wineinstall.old wineinstall > wineinstall.dif
Where wineinstall.old is the original file (that you saved somewhere or got from the tarball) and wineinstall is the file with your changes. "man diff" will give you more information but thats about all that you need to know.
You can edit the wineinstall.dif to get rid of the .old extention but I'm not sure its required. I guess to be on the safe side I would get rid of it.

PS: dont feel too bad there are tons of stuff that I don't know either.
