Use the 'kernel-source' packages and you will get extra features and bugfixes patched in by Debian which are not in stock Linux. For example 'kernel-source-2.2.18pre21'. When installed the archive gets put into '/usr/src/'. You must 'bunzip2' it and 'tar xvf' it before you can finally cd to the Linux source tree. At that point you can do the 'make' commands you listed. Or you can try the 'kernel-package' package which has some nice features. It does the build commands for you plus it builds a nice .deb package in '/usr/src' containing your kernel, any modules compiled for your kernel, and installation scripts. But if you do use 'kernel-package' be sure to 'zless /usr/doc/kernel-package/README.gz' and search on 'Brave' for instructions. Ignore the 'kernel-package' man pages which are useless for beginners.
