You'd download all the patches between 2.0.5 to 2.0.10 and then something like this...
cd /usr/src patch <patch-2.0.5 patch <patch-2.0.6 [..etc..] patch <patch-2.0.10 cd linux make dep; make clean; make zlilo; make modules; make modules_install
And go make a cup of tea while the compiler churns away, or read your email or whatever.
