I originally downloaded "cacti-0.8.7g.tar.gz" from: http://www.cacti.net/downloads/spine/cacti-spine-0.8.7g.tar.gz. I just re-read:" http://www.turnkeylinux.org/blog/contest-summary" and realized that Basil Kurian had created a tklpatch version of cacti available on the turnkey linux website at: http://cdn.turnkeylinux.org/files/attachments/cacti.tar.gz. I untarred this file and saw the "conf" file needed for the patching. I then untarred "cacti-0.8.7g.tar.gz" (from the cacti website) and noticed that there was no "conf" file, just the sources to build cacti. I was VERY mistaken in how this process worked. Obviously, when I ran the command: tklpatch-apply / cacti-0.8.7g.tar.gz nothing happened since there were no instructions in my tar.gz. My apologies for wasteing your time. I need to go back and RTFM&Ds.
cacti not tklpatched because I used wrong source
