I believe that is essentially what I said.  If you prefer it with the more
difficult (although not much) recompile listed first, knock yourself out. 
Debian's stock 2.4.x kernel images provide ext3 support as a module and
the initrd image necessary.  Thus, it might be better to list it as the
first option, but whatever makes you happy.
