An even better way is to use make-kpkg (in the kernel-package Debian package). This will compile your custom kernel and install it into a .deb package file. You can install the .deb in the other computer and it will install the kernel in /vmlinuz, install any modules and even ask you if you want to create a boot floppy and run LILO to update the boot information.
