see the kernel-HOWTO.  I suggest installing the HOWTO's that came with
your distribution.  Also, if you have "Linux installation and getting
started" with your distro, install that.  Making a new kernel
is covered well in both of them.

Check the README file that came with the program.  The instructions
vary considerably between programs.
