You need to first change the directory in terminal to wherever your 
clone of the Fink source tree is. It might be ~/src/fink if you've 
followed previous directions posted to the mailing list.

If you've deleted the source tree, you can reclone it:
mkdir -p ~/src
cd ~/src
git clone https://github.com/fink/fink
cd fink

Then you can apply the Sonomapatch.patch.
