Eric, 

Just thought I'd jump in on this one, because it wasn't at all obvious
to me how to do this & I'd like to spare you  the learning curve. =)

1) Install quilt on your system.
2) Download the latest non-rc release (linux-2.6.12.tar.bz2)
3) Download the 2.6.13-rcX patch (patch-2.6.13-rc3.bz2)
4) Download the 2.6.13-rcX-mmY patch (2.6.13-rc3-mm3.bz2)
5) untar the release (linux-2.6.12.tag.bz2) in your work folder, rename
it to something appropriate, say linux-2.6.13-rc3-mm3
6) import those patches into quilt and apply
 In your linux-2.6.13-rc3-mm3 folder, do this
 $ quilt import ~/downloads/patch-2.6.13-rc3.bz2
 $ quilt import ~/downloads/2.6.13-rc3-mm3.bz2
 $ quilt push -a

You now have the linux-2.6.13-rc3-mm3 tree.

If you haven't done so already, take the time to learn quilt.
Quilt has saved me many, many hours.
