If you read the /usr/src/linux/README it tells you
how to patch your linux kernel as well as compile
a new kernel on your system. I believe to patch
go to /usr/src then type gzip -cd patch-number.tar.gz |patch -p0
or something like that, and just patch the upgrades one patch at
a time in order from your current kernel. However, I personally
every 4-5 versions, will get a fresh full source and recompile it
so I know everything is proper in case a patch fails and it
somehow worked for me.
