If you know enough about computers in general, you'll be able to understand the help that is available for each option you have during kernel configuration. That and the kernel HOWTO should be enough to get you through installation of your own kernel without problems. If your current kernel version differs in version from the one you are going to install, you can easily keep both of them until you decide you're happy enough with the new one. You can even do kernel configuration and compilation without changing anything on your system just to get some confidence. Just unpack the kernel source to some temporary directory and do everything as a normal user so you won't be able to mess with the current installation.
