If you install Manoj Srivastava's excellent 'kernel-package' package, you can unpack the linux kernel sources, do your normal configuration (I do 'make xconfig') and then run '/usr/sbin/make-kpkg binary'. Install the resulting customised Debian kernel package using 'dpkg -i ../kernel-binary_version_blah.deb'. Beware that some Debian packages expect the kernel to be compiled with module versions turn on. Hope that helps, Kenny.
