Anyway I believe I should get kernel version 2.4.22.  That's the
latest stable one, right?
Is there a .deb package (and where is it) or should I just get the
.tar.bz2 one from kernel.org?
I did find a HOWTO but it is pretty redhat centric and assumes that
one has X running.  My X doesn't work, I'm sure I'll be posting about
that later.
     

# apt-cache search kernel-image-2.4

. . .
. . .
# apt-get install kernel-image-2.4.22-1-k7
   

That would be nice if I had networking which I don't which is why I'm
trying to build a new kernel in the first place.
 

Ah, sorry. In that case, go get the .deb from here:
   http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/kernel-image-2.4-k7.html
using another machine that has networking. Drop the .deb file into a 
convenient location on your Debian box and run "dpkg -i 
kernel-image-2.4.22-1-k7 
<http://packages.debian.org/unstable/base/kernel-image-2.4.22-1-k7.html>" 
(Of course you'll want to get the right "flavor" of kernel for your CPU; 
this one's for AMD Athlons and similar. Start here: 
http://www.debian.org/distrib/packages, and search for "kernel-image-2.4".)
