When I was tracking the ac patches on my alpha pretty closely, here was my
routine:
bzcat linux-2.2.x.tar.bz2 | tar xf -
mv linux linux-2.2.x
cd linux-2.2.x
bzcat ../patch-2.2.x-ac12.bz2 | patch -p1
[make yadayadayada]
Then when a new ac patch came out,
cd linux-2.2.x
make clean
bzcat ../patch-2.2.x-ac12.bz2 | patch -R -p1 # reverses old patch
bzcat ../patch-2.2.x-ac13.bz2 | patch -p1
[make yadayadayada]
You can do it either way (Alan's patches or the incremental ones), I'd
just gotten into the habit of doing like I show above.
