apt-get install this these:
kernel-source-$VERSION
kernel-package
gcc
libc6-dev
libncurses5-dev
If you decide to change to a 2.4 kernel, you should also get hotplug.
To use:
0) read the documentation that came with kernel-package
1) unpack the source tarball that is installed
2) enter into its directory
3) make menuconfig
4) select your options
5) make-kpkg clean
6) make-kpkg --revision=foo kernel_image
7) install the new kernel-image package
8) reboot
