OK, I am making some progress ... I found this link and it seems pretty 
clean and straight forward.

http://www.dominik-epple.de/Sarge-Linux_2.6.14-yaird/

and I have followed these steps except I'm using 2.6.15, ie:

Backporting yaird, texi2html, make, kernel-package

I spent all day going through menuconfig and follow an example config 
file the Andrew sent me.

But when I try to compile the kernel it looks like it thinks it should 
be trying to cross compile. I'm wonder if it is somehow confused by the 
packages I backported?
