I am not sure what is Woody 2.2.20. Isn't this a mixture of a kernel
version and Debian stable release? In any case the process that you
have described is the right way. What is in /etc/debian_version?
I am also not sure about your /etc/apt/sources.list lines. However
if apt was not complaining and/or you didn't bother to copy the
exact full lines then what you have should be fine. In particular,
you are right to have `woody' there.
As for the kernel, no need to rebuild it unless you are not satisfied
with the current one or just want to. As for the Debian way to
rebuild it, one might say that it is to use make-kpkg. For that you
will want to install the kernel-package and read its documentation
at /usr/share/doc/kernel-package.
Regarding KDE 3.03, I am not sure it is in stable.
