Installing kernel sources is as easy as 1, 2!

1) Download source for the current stable kernel (2.2.17) from the
Linux Kernel Archives site: http://www.kernel.org

2) Untar and extract in /usr/src:

tar Ixvf linux-2.2.17.tar.bz2

OR

tar zxvf linux-2.2.17.tar.gz if you downloaded the gzipped tarball

And you are done. Optionally you may want to create a symlink in
/usr/src:

ln -s linux-2.2.17 linux

Then cd into /usr/src/linux and go nuts!
