Yes, it was. An easy way to check would be to look at the patch and see where it patches the version number in Makefile. For example, the #4 patch has:
--- lx2.0/v2.0.21/linux/Makefile Fri Sep 20 17:00:33 1996 +++ linux/Makefile Mon Sep 23 17:53:37 1996 @@ -1,6 +1,6 @@ VERSION = 2 -PATCHLEVEL = 0 -SUBLEVEL = 21 +PATCHLEVEL = 1 +SUBLEVEL = 0
ARCH = i386
Indicating that it is a patch for 2.0.21 - 2.1.0. Mike Driscoll <fenris@lightspeed.net>
