Then it would be a bit silly, since you can download the full source to
2.0.17....

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.

Squiz.
