The easiest way to use the patches is to do:
cd /usr/src
tar jxvf <original_linux_dist>.tar.bz2
cd linux
bzcat <patch1>.bz2 | patch -p1
and repeat the last step until you're at the version you want.
-p tells it to ignore a part of the filename. The patch has descriptions
telling it which file to patch, but they tend to be something like
linux-2.4.14-clean/whatever
which you don't have (you just have linux). So go into the directory, and
use -p1 to tell it to skip the first part of the filename.
