here you go:
# apt-get install kernel-source-2.4.19 kernel-package
# cd /usr/src/linux
(set up/copy over your config, which i'm guessing you know how to do)
# make-kpkg --revision my.custom.version.1.0 binary
# dpkg -i ../kernel-image-2.4.19_my.custom.version.1.0_i386.deb
and to upgrade if you find you need more changes, make-kpkg clean, and then
run make-kpkg again incrementing the revision number. the revision can
really be anything you want it to, but i reccommend starting with an a-z
character and ending with the version number, as it keeps apt/dselect from
thinking that the debian kernel-image package is newer.
