Hi David,
kernel-package greatly simplifies the process of compiling a kernel. You
just configure the kernel, call make-kpkg, that builds a Debian-package
with the new kernel-image. After that you just install that package with
$ dpkg -i kernel-image-2.2.16_???.deb
and all is fine. I have found that a lot of the errors people have with
compiling and installing the kernel disappear if they use make-kpkg.
make-kpkg might be the second most useful debian tool besides apt-get ;-)
bye
