Hi !
I think the method to compile your own kernel with the least hassles
is:
0. make sure you have a functional rescue floppy (general advice)
1. get the Debian package kernel-source-2.0.27
2. get the Debian package kernel-package
3. install them
4. do a make config or make menuconfig or make xconfig (set the
DISPLAY for root correct)
5. read the /usr/doc/kernel-package/README and/or the man page of make-kpkg
6. do a
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg -revision custom.1.0 kernel_image
(both in the source directory)
7. you get then a kernel-image Debian package in the parent directory
8. search for a formatted floppy or format one
9. install the kernel-image Debian package with something like
dpkg -i <blabla>.deb
(you will now be asked for the floppy)
10. if you compiled some features in the kernel you had as modules
before edit now /etc/modules.conf and comment the lines out which
describe the features you have compiled in
11. try it and reboot

What's the railroad to me ?
I never go to see
Where it ends.
It fills a few hollows,
And makes banks for the swallows,
It sets the sand a-blowing,
And the blackberries a-growing.
(Henry David Thoreau)
