HOWTO: Install 2.6.14 (or newer) on Sarge

Hi, since there are a lot of people how need (or want to play with) recent linux kernels on debian sarge, I summarized my experiences with it here: http://www.dominik-epple.de/Sarge-Linux_2.6.14-yaird/ The basic idea goes back to some article by Jean-Chrstian de Rivaz on debian-administration.or
