Kernel question

Hi,
I was wondering where could I find kernel .bz2 diffs. I mean, for example:
I have linux-2.6.2-rc1.tar.bz2 and I find out there's a 2.6.2-rc2.tar.bz2 on kernel.org. the question is where could I find a diff between those too (the bzipped sources)
And another thing: what are incremental patches?
Please help.

The incremental patch is the diff.

On kernel.org, the patch is called "patch-2.6.1-rc2". It is the incremental patch is from 2.6.1-rc to 2.6.1-rc2. You can get the next one as well (2.6.1) and apply first the one called 2.6.1-rc2 and then 2.6.1. If you don't do it in the right order, it won't work.

also kernel.org has a changelog file which tells the patches/mods that have been done, personaly i only mess about with the kernel as im bored, i cant tell the diff but i have a pretty fast machine deeply underloaded[1] at the moment.
