should have gone to the list, too ...

I heavily encourage you to use the kernel-package package. It is so easy,
I've seen monkeys using it :-) read the doc under /usr/doc/kernel-package.
The 11 steps below will be reduced to 3 steps or so.

often the default values are sufficient. Otherwise, a peek at windows
configuration can be useful.

or make config, for the hardliners :-)

If you have pnp sound card, you HAVE to install sound as a module (otherwise
pnp cannot take effect before sound module initialize).

this steps are all one with the kernel package: Make your kernel, and you
get a *.deb file, that you can install with dpkg -i <name>.

and have fun :-)
