In a nutshell:
fetch linux-X.Y.Z.tar.[gz/bz2]
put it in /usr/src, unpack, make (x)(menu)config, yada yada
apt-get install kernel-package
make-kpkg --revision Custom.1.00 kernel_image
If you make changes to your kernel, you might want to increase its debian
revision:
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision Custom.2.00 kernel_image
And so on.
After everything has compiled successfully:
cd ..
dpkg -i ./kernel-image*.deb (assuming this is your first custom kernel, of
course)
Answer the simple questions, done.
