The process should be:
- From a fresh source extraction:
1. make xconfig|menuconfig
2. make-kpkg clean
3. Adjust "Extraversion" in Makefile, e.g. -1 to make resultant
kernel "2.4.17-1"
4. make-kpkg clean
- From a source tree previously compiled, run 'make mrproper' to
clean it up to start over.

If you have modules in /usr/src/modules that you need to compile
with the kernel, run 'make-kpkg modules_image' which will compile
the modules into a .deb file just like the kernel. Do a 'dpkg
-i' on it after installing the kernel and the modules will be
installed.
have fun,
