I'd skip 2.2.16 and go for 2.2.17 when it comes out, or for one
of the 2.2.17-pre kernels which are quite stable.
2.2.16 fixed a major security hole. But it just wasn't that
stable.

There is, I think, a guide on the Linux Documentation Project
about recompiling kernels.
Basically:
cd /usr/src
tar -xzf kernel-source-2.2.17.tar.gz
(or tar.xIf if the source ends in .bz2)
cd kernel-source-2.2.17
make menuconfig
make dep
make bzImage
cp arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot
lilo
(assuming that /etc/lilo.conf lists /boot/bzImage as one of your
kernels)
reboot
