A couple of things your sending multiple posts to the list about the
same subjects.  Not necessary.  Second if you could set outlook to wrap
to 72 characters I'm sure many on this list would appreciate it.  

Compiling and installing a kernel the debian way is simpler in a sense.
The end result is pretty much the same both ways.  Just depends on how
you want to do it.  I would encourage you to try the debian way and see
if you like it.  Either way you need the kernel course code.  Do some
reading before you give it a try.  Read -
http://www.debian.org/doc/FAQ/ch-kernel.html

Install -
kernel-package
and read -
$ zless /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz
