You've ga a kernel as .tar file this file is zipped
are this file include the kernel-header and also
the kernel-source, if so all you have to do:

unpack the tar file tar xvzf 2.0.36.tgz 
look what is the result
mayby
in `/usr/src'
ln -s linux kernel-source-2.0.36
after that  the `/usr/src' tree eventually looks this

drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root 1024 Nov  3 14:04 kernel-headers-2.0.36
-rw-r--r--   1 root     src 662122 Nov 10 04:04 kernel-image-2.0.36_custom.1.0_i386.deb
drwxr-xr-x  16 root     root  1024 Nov 11 16:33 kernel-source-2.0.36
drwxr-xr-x   3 root     root  1024 Nov  2 03:55 liblockdev-0.9
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     src     20 Nov  3 16:25 linux -> kernel-source-2.0.36
lrwxrwxrwx   1 root     src     20 Nov  3 14:19 linux-2.0.36 -> kernel-source-2.0.36
drwxr-xr-x   7 root     root  1024 Nov  2 03:53 redhat
than go to /usr/src/linux
and use
make menuconfig
make-kpkg
after that
use (assume you stay already in /usr/src/linux)
dpkg -i ../kernel-image-X.XXX_1.0_<arch>.deb
eg 
dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.0.36_custom.1.0_i386.deb
reboot the system

Please note, if You are using ISDN don't update, there is
no compatible isdnutils for this kernel today
