What I mean is, can i apply the 2.4.10 patch directly to a 2.4.2 kernel, or do I have to apply all the patches in between first (2.4.3 then 2.4.4, etc.)?

You must patch each one in there

You need to apply ALL kernel in order.
2.4.2 default kernel wanting to upgrade to 2.4.10
Apply 2.4.3 patch, 2.4.4 patch and so on.
As TheBouleOfFools already suggested, it will be easier to just download the full 2.4.10 kernel and compile that.

Where can one find the latest kernel? Kernelhq (http://www.kernelhq.com) has only 2.4.7 and patches above that.

thanks for the responses. to answer Hena's question, all kernels can be downloaded from http://www.kernel.org
why download the entire thing when one can just patch? that's seems like a waste of time and bandwidth.

Do you not need to recompile the kernel after every patch? If so and you are going up 3 or 4 levels, then the time it would take to compile 3-4 times would be less than downloading the complete 27MB kernel source.
Personally, I always go for the full source.
Hena... 2.4.10 is the latest and of course available at www.kernel.org (http://www.kernel.org)

No you don't have to recompile for each patch. Each patch just brings you up to the current codebase. But you have to have a clean version of the previous kernel in order to patch it properly. So while it may be less bandwidth just to get the patches, it takes longer to patch :)
