after getting the _tarball_ ready (as described above), you may want to use
kernel-package to rock your kernel.  (apt-get install kernel-package.)   then:

# make menuconfig; make-kpkg clean; make-kpkg --revision=custom.1.0 kernel_image

(make sure you have ncurses (if you want to use "menuconfig.") (apt-get install
ncurses)

when it's done, install your newly rocked kernel:

# cd ..

# dpkg -i kernel*

reboot.

(before you start, you may want to have a boot disk handy.)

good luck.
