If I'm to manually update,
1. Do I need to run all updates sequentially from FRX01 to FRX03?
2. In order to update, do I just unzip/extract the files and replace the old zImage,Modules and data.img with the new ones?

So that tool updates zImage/modules (kernel) and rootfs. It does initrd too, but that probably isn't going to get anymore updates.
It does
not update the system.ext2 (system image) which is basically the build you're running. You can download it from xdandroid.com, and no - you can go straight to FRX03 - just one thing to be wary of, is when you go between system images you sometimes need a new data.img - if you've run Android before, you'll have a data.img file that has all the apps and customizations you've done. You may need to delete this file if you're moving between system images (ie FRX01->03), initial boot will create a new one for you.

I kinda wish the CAB file was never created - this project is for
testing, it's not meant to replace WinMo. The compressed RAR/ZIP builds are really simple to use (extract to your SD...grab correct startup...run haret...) and you actually get to see how the file structure looks so you can manually update and at least partially understand how it should look
With that said, again... This project is for testing. It's not meant to be easy, it's not meant to replace WinMo. Have fun with it, enjoy it... but don't dog on it because it's not "easy" enough for you. If it were up to me, it would probably be much harder to install Android - some have taken pity and tried to make it easier for noobs, just to have this kind of reaction from them.
