Hi David,

kernel-package greatly simplifies the process of compiling a kernel. You
just configure the kernel, call make-kpkg, that builds a Debian-package
with the new kernel-image. After that you just install that package with 

$ dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.16_???.deb

and all is fine. I have found that a lot of the errors people have with
compiling and installing the kernel disappear if they use make-kpkg. 
make-kpkg might be the second most useful debian tool besides  apt-get ;-)

bye
