kernel building for newbies



Can anyone recommend a tutorial or howto on debian kernel building 
that'd be suitable for someone who's never built a kernel before? I 
have an external CD burner that is supposed to use the bpck6 module. 
A search confirmed that it's a part of the kernel-image and 
kernel-headers packages, but I'm not entirely sure what to *do* with 
those packages or what else I need.

Also, is there anything to be gained by switching from 2.4.18 to 
2.4.19 while I'm at it? This is my home computer, not a production 
machine, but I still don't want to upgrade if there isn't a good 
reason.
