[wellylug] Dumb questions 101 - How to compile a more modern Kernel for Debian

[Leslie Boardman]

There is an program called make-kpkg that compiles a kernel package.

When I did it I just used the 2.4.18 kernel sources and it worked 
fine.  I don't know if it works with anything above that.

Easy instructions are here:
