question about patching my kernel

[Paul Akkermans]

Hi everone,   Last week I installed my debian system with a cd-rom I got from a friend. When I was installing Debian I saw that the kernel which was included on the cd-rom was version 2.22. From the website www.kernel.org I saw that version (the stable version) 2.6.7 is available. But the problem is that I have no idea how to upgrade my kernel. Can somebody tell me what steps I have to take to patch my kernel?   Thanks in advance   Paul Akkermans
