	Use your favourite Debian method to get the packages:
kernel-source-2.x.x and kernel-package.

	kernel-source-2.x.x should create a directory called
/usr/src/kernel-source-2.x.x, which you can symlink to /usr/src/linux
if you wish.  From there, you can read
/usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz for more information with respect to
actually compiling the kernel.

	Good luck, and have fun.

Simon.
