To install a precompiled kernel, add the proper source to 
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://www.backports.org/debian woody kernel-image-2.4.25-i386

Run apt-get update and then

apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.25-1-386

(there are also 586tsc, 686, k6 and k7 packages available)

After installing, configure your bootloader to use the initrd that came
with the kernel, rerun lilo and reboot.

And please tell your email client to quote properly and use an
