IIRC you need to fetch the kernel-image package in base, obviously the appropriate version. Within the .deb file is /boot/config-2.0.xx which I believe corresponds to installation kernel. But if you compile a kernel with "make menuconfig" and read all the help information (or browse to file /usr/src/linux/Documentation/Configure.help when you've unpacked the kernel-source, it's not to difficult to see what you need, and you'll learn a lot. Just make sure you have a floppy for booting your current kernel in case you leave out an essential (like SCSI drivers if you need them) and get a kernel panic.
