By saying you needn't compile it, I take it you mean you're running a
vanilla (stock) kernel-image? If that's the case, just install the new
kernel image from dselect or apt-get like you would other packages.
(It'll look something like kernel-image-2.2.19 or
kernel-image-2.4.8-k6) If you're running a custom kernel, then there's
no way around recompiling. Go with the kernel-package process like
someone else has already suggested.

Cheers,
