Compiling a kernel without making a .deb package.

[Joseph Jones <joe@bumpycarrot.cjb.net>]

I can compile a kernel into a .deb package as described in the 
newbiedoc, but I need to compile a kernel with drivers for my laptop's 
NIC so I can make a rescue disc to do a network install from. Could 
anyone advise me as to how I do this, if possible in relation to the 
instructions in the newbiedoc?

Thanks :)
