I'll send them to you.

It does.  It has the full source to the latest version of 2.2 and 2.4;
the one on SourceForge may have more than that.  These are original
source from kernel.org, as well as crypto patches (in their original
tar.gz file).  The patches are in a separate directory.

Remember that the Oxygen kernels also use the Openwall patch; this patch
is included in the patches subdirectory on the CDROM.

I've never expected everyone to want to use Openwall, or other things. 
I've also applied in the past patches like the Linux Progress Patch
(gives a pretty picture during loading) or the bridge firewall patch. 
The LPP patch failed badly; the bridge firewall patch seems to work well
(or at least, not interfere).

There's also numerous other patches; check out the CDROM's
kernel/patches directory. Can't imagine everyone would want the same
thing.
