As I recall from doing the upgrade to get 1.5.10.2 onto my A2000's hd you
have to do the patches sequentially. It may also be useful to get hold
of the 1.5.10.2 demo disk to set up your hd f/s so that you work
on the hd. It's a pain having to mount the hd partitions by hand but a heck
of a lot easier than trying to recompile kernel/mm/fs from floppy.
